Gather

Hunger relief organization in Portsmouth, NH, installed Altro Stronghold 30 and Altro Puraguard in its commercial and teaching kitchen spaces to improve their overall services for the surrounding region.

Issue

After serving the Seacoast community for over 200 years, Gather expanded into a new facility, adding on new services such as a Pantry Market and fresh Food Bus to even culinary training programs and community meal initiatives. Gather needed floor and walls solutions that would help improve accessibility, efficiency, and food support services to the surrounding region.


Approach

The hunger relief organization needed durable, easy-to-maintain solutions for both the commercial and teaching kitchen spaces, specifically seeking flooring that had built in underfoot comfort for staff and those participating in their culinary training programs.


Solution

When it comes to commercial kitchen environments where safety and comfort are equally important, Altro Stronghold 30 is the go-to solution. At 3mm thick, Altro Stronghold 30 delivers the highest level of slip resistance, even in the presence of grease, oils, and other common contaminants, while its cushioned backing helps reduce fatigue by providing comfort underfoot.

To create a complete hygienic system for these spaces, Altro Puraguard wall protection was also installed. Designed for back-of-house and commercial kitchen environments, Altro Puraguard provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that supports hygiene and long-term performance in areas such as kitchens, dishwashing stations, pantries, storage rooms, service corridors, and janitorial spaces.

With durable, hygienic, and easy-to-maintain solutions in place, Gather can continue focusing on what matters most which is supporting and strengthening its community.
