Ambiente is one of those events that allows you to step out of the everyday rhythm and truly connect with the industry. For five days in Frankfurt, manufacturers, distributors, and professionals share space, products, and conversations that rarely happen in other contexts.
Once again, Arcos took part with a clear goal: to present its new products for 2026 and, above all, to listen closely to what’s happening in the market.
Nacido de la colaboración con los arquitectos españoles Pedro Ponce y Rubén Gutiérrez (Iterare Arquitectos), PETRA es mucho más que un accesorio. Es la unión entre artesanía local, materiales nobles y una mirada arquitectónica que transforma el gesto cotidiano de guardar los cuchillos en una experiencia visual y táctil.
Two series, two perspectives
This edition saw the introduction of the new Ibiza and Classic Pro series, designed to meet different needs within the domestic and professional segments.
Ibiza is conceived as a versatile range for everyday cooking. Made of NITRUM® stainless steel and featuring the Classic Plus edge, it strikes a perfect balance between performance and comfort. Its cohesive assortment and ease of recommendation make it especially appealing to specialized retailers.
Classic Pro, on the other hand, strengthens the brand’s commitment to high-performance forged knives. Forged from a single piece of steel, it is intended for intensive professional use, where balance, strength, and durability are essential.
Conversations that matter
Beyond product launches, Ambiente offers valuable face-to-face contact with international distributors, professional clients, and new partners. These exchanges are key to understanding how market expectations evolve.
In Frankfurt, one message was clear: the market demands reliable products, backed by industrial capability and consistent supply. In this sense, manufacturing in Spain and Arcos’ own production structure remain strong differentiators.
A point of contrast
Taking part in an international fair is not only about showing products — it’s about validating decisions, detecting necessary adjustments, and strengthening long-term relationships.
Once again, Ambiente 2026 has been a space to listen, compare, and move forward. With the insights gathered, the work continues.
