Sustainability is an inherent part of our corporate philosophy. So, it is extremely important to us that MKN cooking equipment is not only manufactured as environmentally friendly as possible but also has a long service life. This saves resources, reduces carbon emissions and avoids waste. Unavoidable waste is fed into the recycling process or disposed of in accordance with legal requirements. However, a sole focus on our products and production processes is simply not enough for a globally operating and commercially successful business. We take responsiblity when selecting and working together with our partners and suppliers. More than 80% of our suppliers come from Germany and our equipment is produced 100% in Germany. We can therefore guarantee fair working conditions and also reduce CO2 emissions through shorter transport distances. Our aim is to integrate sustainable action along the entire value chain while pursuing further development of measures to achieve long-term goals.
