Mallaghan is celebrating 15 years of partnership with SkyChefs as the caterer rolls out its refreshed brand identity across North America and other markets.

Since 2011, Mallaghan has supplied more than 250 catering trucks to SkyChefs. The total is expected to surpass 300 by the end of 2026. SkyChefs was Mallaghan’s launch customer in the U.S. market, helping establish the ground support equipment manufacturer’s presence in the country.

“Our partnership with SkyChefs has been instrumental in our growth over the past 15 years, particularly in supporting our expansion into the American market. We are proud to have worked closely with an international industry leader to deliver innovative, reliable and high-quality catering solutions that meet the demands of modern aviation. As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunity to further strengthen this relationship, with continued collaboration that will support the next phase of growth for both organisations,” said Ronan Mallaghan, Chief Executive Officer at Mallaghan.

The SkyChefs fleet includes Mallaghan’s CT2000, CT4000, CT6000 and CT8000 models, as well as the eCT6000 electric catering truck. The eCT6000 made SkyChefs the first North American catering company to use an electric catering truck.

“Our long-standing partnership with Mallaghan has been key to ensuring we can consistently deliver safe, efficient vehicles for our employees who operate them in challenging operational environments, and provide high-quality services to our airline clients,” said Erik Olund, CEO, SkyChefs. “Its commitment to innovation and reliability aligns closely with our own values, and together we continue to support a more sustainable future for the aviation industry.”
