Under Richard Bergfor's leadership, Max Burgers intensified its environmental efforts. By its own account, it is the world's first climate-positive food company.

Foodservice Forum 2023

The International Foodservice Forum has been Europe's largest congress for the professional catering industry for more than forty years. Decision-makers from all segments of the out-of-home market meet here - from fine dining, quick service, branded gastronomy, service station stores, bakery chain stores and transport gastronomy to start-ups. The top-class industry get-together will be flanked by plenty of time for networking.

As usual, the kick-off is reserved for the top 100 gastro players in Germany, who this time will be presented for the first time solely by Katrin Wißmann, senior editor of the international hospitality media (european foodservice media). Top-class industry experts will follow.
