VITO AG renews as a Worldchefs Global Partner

Paris,
France
· 21 January 2019: VITO AG renews as a Worldchefs Global Partner

Worldchefs is pleased to announce
a renewed partnership with VITO AG. A valued Worldchefs Global Partner, VITO AG
is the world’s leading in-tank frying oil filtration brand, and a forerunner in
sustainable design. Headquartered in southwest Germany, the mission of VITO AG
is to cut the customer’s frying oil cost, to protect the environment by
avoidance of oil waste, and to deliver the highest quality standard of fried food.

VITO AG takes pride in their
efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of kitchens worldwide. They have been
recognized for their innovations in the industry as a recipient of the Gruenes
Band Award, Gastro Innovation Preis, IHMRS Editors’ Choice Award, Smart Label,
Taste 13, Sial Innovation, and three times recipient of the Gulfood Award,
among others.

VITO filtration systems remove
fine micro particles without the need for chemicals, and use only 100%
bio-degradable particle filters. Reduced oil consumption means less waste, and
fewer deliveries mean less CO2 emissions.

Used daily, VITO systems filter
food particles and carbon from frying oil, resulting in a better looking and optimal
tasting fried product. VITO filter systems provide a fast return on investment
by significantly lowering cleaning labor costs, storage needs, oil consumption,
and by doubling the lifespan of a fryer.

VITO AG exports its products to
over 150 countries. VITO systems are available in different sizes for any kind
of business and can be used in any fryer.

Thomas Gugler, Worldchefs
President writes: “Protecting the environment by reducing oil waste, respecting
the high-quality standard of food taste for customers, and finally, saving time
and costs for all our chefs – these are wonderful goals to reach. We are very
grateful to have VITO AG as a Worldchefs Global Partner.”

VITO AG CEO Andreas Schmidt adds,
“Environmental protection and quality are goals that Worldchefs and we have in common.
We are honored to be a member.”

Communications
Manager joins Worldchefs Administration Team

The Worldchefs Administration team are pleased to announce the arrival of our newest member, Clare Pettersson, who has come onboard with us as Communications Manager. 

After deviating from a PhD path in food anthropology to join a chef-focused hospitality startup, Clare found herself years later with a career immersed in a passion for gastronomy and empowering chefs’ stories. A creative communications and marketing specialist, she has ideated and driven creative marketing programs with international brands including Brooklyn Brewery, KraftHeinz, Timberland, and Cholula, and with media players like First We Feast, Paste Magazine, and Phaidon. With extensive hands-on experience in partnerships, project management, large scale international event production and experiential marketing, she has an appetite for building a community of support for big ideas. 

Clare is elated to contribute to the many meaningful efforts of Worldchefs, and sincerely looks forward to making an ethical difference alongside the members of our inspiring Worldchefs global community.

Outside the office, Clare can be found strolling antique markets with her Swedish South African husband, visiting one of Paris’ many art museums, carving linoleum blocks, or planning her next meal.

Feel free to welcome her at marketing@worldchefs.org.
