All food distributed to the municipality's schools, childcare, and elderly care is prepared here. Approximately 2,100 meals are produced every weekday.
We believe the key to success lies in extensive collaboration across boundaries, for example, between kitchens and educational operations. The kitchen should be an integrated part of schools and care.
