VITO at Worldchefs Congress 2026 in Wales

We are currently attending the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 in Newport, Wales. The congress is taking place from 16 to 19 May 2026 and brings together chefs, culinary associations, industry partners, and hospitality professionals from around the world.

For VITO, the event is a valuable opportunity to strengthen our long-standing partnership with Worldchefs / WACS, connect with international culinary professionals, and exchange ideas on the future of professional kitchens.

What is Worldchefs / WACS?

The World Association of Chefs’ Societies, today known globally as Worldchefs, was founded in 1928 and is an international professional organization for chefs. Its mission is to maintain and improve culinary standards worldwide through education, training, professional development, competitions, and international exchange.

Worldchefs connects national chefs’ associations, culinary professionals, educators, and industry partners across the globe. The Worldchefs Congress & Expo is one of the organization’s key events, creating a platform for dialogue, networking, innovation, and collaboration within the international foodservice and hospitality industry.

We received recognition as a long-standing partner and sponsor

A special highlight of the congress so far has been the certificate presentation to VITO AG. As a long-standing partner and sponsor of Worldchefs, we were honored to receive this recognition from Ragnar Fridriksson, Managing Director of Worldchefs.

This certificate means a great deal to us. It reflects a trusted partnership that has grown over many years, as well as our shared commitment to supporting chefs and professional kitchens worldwide.

With our professional frying oil management solutions, we help kitchens maintain frying oil quality, reduce costs, simplify daily workflows, and operate more sustainably.

Valuable meetings and inspiring conversations

In addition to receiving the certificate, the congress is offering many opportunities for personal exchange and networking. We have already had the pleasure of meeting Worldchefs President Andy Cuthbert and reconnecting with Thomas Gugler, former Worldchefs President and a long-time friend of VITO.

We are also enjoying many inspiring conversations with talented chefs and culinary professionals from around the world. These discussions show us once again how important sustainability, efficiency, consistency, and cost control are in modern professional kitchens.

We are proud to be part of this global culinary community and would like to thank Worldchefs / WACS for the recognition, the long-standing partnership, and the inspiring exchange here in Wales.
