For a better world of cooking

SUSTAINABILITY

Not just a matter close to our hearts but an integral part of our DNA 

As a family-owned company, active on the market for 75 years, we always think ahead and take action accordingly. Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate culture.
The future is our focus, starting with development of new ideas for our professional cooking technology and extending across the entire production cycle to the utilisation of renewable energy.

As premium manufacturer, we aim to promote sustainable development in our industry, focusing on groundbreaking impulses such as durable, energy-efficient products, sustainable packaging and numerous other measures to consequently reduce our ecological footprint.

With the latest findings on climate change in mind, we have set ourselves ambitious targets and are continuously reducing our emissions on the path to carbon neutral production. We already buy green electricity and use our own photovoltaic system to produce renewable energy. The launch of MKN SteelPlus will also enable us to reduce the carbon footprint in professional kitchens considerably.

MKN takes responsibility for the environment and our corporate strategy resolutely pursues the target of a carbon neutral future.

In this Chamber of Industry and Commerce qualification programme, trainees learn to recognize energy saving potential in their respective companies.
