Supporting airlines and cabin crew in delivering consistent, seamless onboard service is a key part of RMT Global Partners’ product offerings. The supplier’s double-wall stainless steel products, including its coffee and soup carafes, simplify inflight service and help crew optimize efficiencies.
“RMT’s double-wall stainless steel construction delivers exceptional heat retention, which is critical for long-haul service cycles where beverages must remain at optimal temperature from galley to aisle,” Richard Tuttle, Founder and CEO, RMT Global Partners, tells PAX International.
The vacuum-insulated walls maintain temperatures for extended periods and ensure a consistent pour temperature to support premium coffee, tea and soup programs for airlines.
Among its Business Class serviceware is RMT’s impact-resistant, stainless steel cocktail shaker, with a condensation-free exterior that ensures clean handling.
RMT collaborates closely with its customers to ensure products streamline onboard processes.
“We work directly with airline partners to fully understand at a higher level the functional requirements and needs of the airline staff in order to exceed customer expectations,” says Tuttle.
Also designed to simplify catering operations onboard, RMT’s stainless steel serviceware features dishwasher-safe components.

Durability driving sustainability
Sustainability is a driving force for RMT Global Partners. The onboard supplier says it prides itself on prioritizing environmental responsibility while maintaining a “gold standard” for passenger experience.
“We deliver high-quality, sustainable products that minimize our ecological footprint,” Tuttle says, noting that the design and weight of the company’s stainless steel products are part of this impact. “The lightweight construction of our double-wall stainless steel products supports airline weight reduction goals.”
Designing for durability is also a crucial part of minimizing the ecological footprint of onboard products, with Tuttle emphasizing that the long service life of RMT’s stainless steel products reduces replacement frequency and, as a result, environmental impact.
“Airlines rely on these products to maintain beverage quality without repeated reheating, reducing galley workload and energy use,” he explains.
