Olympic spirit in Stuttgart, and MKN is back in action.
In February 2028, the international culinary elite will once again gather in Stuttgart for the IKA/Culinary Olympics – the world’s most prestigious culinary competition. MKN will be there as an exclusive partner. As a premium manufacturer of professional cooking technology and a close partner of the German Chefs’ Association for many decades, MKN stands for innovation, precision, and reliability at the highest level.
The renewed partnership underscores the shared commitment to promoting young talent and international haute cuisine. In Wolfenbüttel, MKN CEO Georg Weber welcomed the two VKD Presidium members Thorben Grübnau and Joachim Elflein. In a friendly atmosphere, it quickly became clear that the values, quality standards, and vision for the future of professional cuisine are a perfect match.
The continuation of the collaboration for the next #IKA is therefore a strong signal of continuity, trust, and a shared passion for world-class culinary art. We are already looking forward to inspiring competition days, impressive performances, and a strong partnership in the spirit of culinary excellence.
