The exhibitors at INTERNORGA 2025 are all focused on solving tomorrow’s challenges today. The ‘Kitchen Technology and Equipment’ exhibition area in Halls B6 and B7 in particular stands out in that regard and is known for hosting numerous product premieres that revolutionise the industry. National and international exhibitors there will provide fresh inspiration as well as solutions to problems that will allow pro chefs to optimally equip their kitchens. Automation, energy efficiency, resource conservation, hygiene and safety are some of the topics that will be especially relevant for the catering industry in 2025. ‘INTERNORGA is where the entire industry comes together to network. I am particularly impressed by the very strong, diverse supporting programme. If you want to know what’s hot in the sector and stay on top of the trends, INTERNORGA is a must,’ says Rudi Seubert, Managing Director of Winterhalter Deutschland GmbH, who has been attending the leading international trade fair with his company for many years.
Sneak Peek: insights into the first exhibitors
Smart kitchen solutions with networked appliances play a key role for many exhibitors. Rational AG, for example, will demonstrate how cloud solutions and IoT platforms can be used to automate kitchen processes and optimise energy consumption. These technologies help to address the shortage of skilled workers and relieve the burden on staff. Companies such as MKN and Meiko are relying on energy-efficient technologies in the face of rising energy costs. They will present appliances with integrated, optimised heat recovery systems and water-saving technologies that help catering businesses to improve their carbon footprint and operate more sustainably. ‘The creation of ergonomically healthy and sustainable workplaces is very important for us to support our customers in their sustainability efforts. We ensure that the energy consumption of our machines is reduced to a minimum and at the same time place people, or the operator, at the center of our development. That is why we have analyzed how we can make passthrough dishwashers easier to operate. If a simple push of a button is all it takes, we integrate this solution into our technology to make this workplace as pleasant as possible,” says Lars Urban, Managing Director of Meiko Deutschland GmbH.
Automated, self-cleaning systems and technologies to monitor hygiene standards are also essential. Those are some of the topics that make up the central focus of Hobart, for example. This coming spring, the long-established company will be presenting solutions at INTERNORGA that automate the cleaning of appliances and also increase safety in the kitchen.
Another highlight of the 2025 trade fair will be Germany’s most exciting competition for upcoming chefs, the NEXT CHEF AWARD, moving to its ideal thematic environment in the ‘Kitchen Technology and Equipment’ exhibition area for the first time. That not only puts the talented young cooks in the immediate vicinity of top chefs, but also close to national and international kitchen technology and equipment companies. ‘INTERNORGA is the place where the entire industry comes together to discover innovations and exchange ideas about the latest developments. We are glad to be able to make the kitchen technology halls even more thematically relevant with programme highlights such as the NEXT CHEF AWARD and to promote the exchange of ideas among all those involved,’ says Matthias Balz, Director INTERNORGA.
INTERNORGA 2025 will not only present a large number of new and innovative products in the field of kitchen technology and equipment, but will also offer plenty of opportunities for interaction, knowledge transfer and networking: visitors can look forward to popular highlights such as the OFF THE RECORD Afterwork Lounge and exciting inspiration on the OPEN STAGE.
