The family of Stage plug-ins expands with the arrival of self-service Stage Double and Stage Maxi. Stage Double, with double freezer, is a total novelty in the Costan panorama and allows different categories of food to be presented in a single cabinet.

The Click & Collect solution is a trend that is increasingly becoming part of purchasing habits, bound to bring changes in the future of Retail and, at this time, we are witnessing its significant growth. In Italy, for example, where it was still relatively unknown, it rose around 9% of total online sales[1] while in a market like France in which the Drive is consolidated, it accounted for 7% of the total sales in week 10[2].

The fresh and super fresh product zone is one of the most attractive areas of stores.

Costan revolutionises cross-selling strategies with Funky Next, the vertical self-contained cabinet for fresh pre-packaged products, part of the SlimFit family.  With aesthetics aligned with the rest of the range, the new solution stands out with an incredible depth of just 500 mm and a height of 2035 mm, designed specifically for the purpose of integration between dry product shelving.

The store is the place where consumer preferences take shape and are defined, above all considering the choices related to promotion and impulse purchases.

Characterise the store surfaces with originality while enhancing the quality of the products on sale: in designing the fresh and super fresh areas, it is essential to study the perception of space and the elements able to facilitate interaction with consumers. A concept at the heart of the OutFit family by Costan of which a new chapter is written today, thanks to the presentation of Silk C.
