History
In a small Italian kitchen, the concept of harnessing ultrasound technology for food preparation was born. Driven by curiosity and a desire to preserve raw ingredients naturally, the team began imagining a future where innovation and sustainability could transform the culinary industry.
After years of testing and development, Next Cooking Generation officially launched the waveco® system, the first of its kind to use focused ultrasound for accelerated food maturation. The system promised chefs the ability to tenderize meat, reduce bacterial load, and prolong shelf life, all without additives or altering flavor.
waveco® partnered with leading Italian universities and laboratories to validate its process. The product earned the trust of Michelin-star chefs and culinary experts, who integrated the machine into their high-performance kitchens. Its use spread across restaurants, hotels, and gourmet labs, earning a reputation for enhancing quality and consistency.
waveco® expanded its reach through a series of high-profile events and demos across Italy and abroad. From Milan to London, chefs and food professionals experienced firsthand how ultrasound could revolutionize prep time, waste management, and food safety. The groundwork for international expansion was officially underway.
With growing global interest, Next Cooking Generation US was born. Bringing waveco® technology to the American market meant adapting to new culinary cultures and challenges, but chefs in the U.S. quickly recognized its potential. Restaurants, catering businesses, and food labs began exploring how ultrasound could streamline their operations and reduce waste.
Today, waveco® is more than just a machine, it's a movement. At the heart of the brand is a belief that innovation should protect tradition, not replace it. The focus remains on empowering chefs to do more with less: preserving food's natural integrity while optimizing performance and sustainability.
With its blend of science, technology, and respect for raw ingredients, waveco® continues to redefine what’s possible in the kitchen.
