As a premium manufacturer of professional cooking technology and a close partner of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vkd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German Chefs&#8217; Association<\/a><\/strong> for many decades, MKN stands for innovation, precision, and reliability at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed partnership underscores the shared commitment to promoting young talent and international haute cuisine. In Wolfenb\u00fcttel, MKN CEO Georg Weber welcomed the two VKD Presidium members Thorben Gr\u00fcbnau 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-orange\" href=\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Partners and Organizers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympic spirit in Stuttgart, and MKN is back in action. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5309,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,11,7],"tags":[59,25],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MKN once again Gold Partner of the IKA\/Culinary Olympics<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/news\/mkn-once-again-gold-partner-of-the-ika-culinary-olympics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"MKN once again Gold Partner of the IKA\/Culinary Olympics\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Olympic spirit in Stuttgart, and MKN is back in action.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/news\/mkn-once-again-gold-partner-of-the-ika-culinary-olympics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IKA - Culinary Olympics\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-09T11:36:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Besuch-VKD-x-MKN-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1605\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"annahaeuser\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/\",\"name\":\"IKA - Culinary Olympics\",\"description\":\"Eine weitere WordPress-Website\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/news\/mkn-once-again-gold-partner-of-the-ika-culinary-olympics\/#primaryimage\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Besuch-VKD-x-MKN-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.olympiade-der-koeche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Besuch-VKD-x-MKN-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":1605,\"caption\":\"From left: Georg Weber, Joachim Elflein, Thorben Gr\\u00fcbnau, Ralf Lentwojt, Martin Ubl.
