More than 75 years of drainage experience makes ACO the world class supplier of drainage systems.

Commercial kitchens can be characterized as a hazardous working environment - extremely busy kitchens,with the potential for wet and greasy floors due to the abundance of hot fluids in both cooking and cleaning!
