What Modern Kitchen Technology does

Moderne Küchentechnik GmbH is a family-owned commercial kitchen specialist headquartered in Fürstenzell, Bavaria, that designs, supplies, and installs professional kitchen equipment for the gastronomy, hotel, event catering, and large-scale catering sectors. The company operates a 5-step service model spanning analysis, consulting, planning, implementation, and after-sales support, with a regional footprint of 10+ service locations across Bavaria (Fürstenzell, Passau, Bad Füssing, Bad Birnbach, Bad Griesbach, Simbach am Inn, Pfarrkirchen, Vilshofen) and Upper Austria (Ried im Innkreis, Schärding, Linz). Founded in 2011 with over 20 years of industry experience, the business is led by the Nebauer family (Jürgen as Managing Director, with Jacob and Lucas Nebauer as primary customer contacts) and has completed more than 500 projects to date.

The company's core technology is built around manufacturer-independent kitchen planning and equipment integration, combining 3D visualization software for pre-construction design with professional installation of combi steamers, blast chillers, commercial dishwashers, stainless steel kitchens, ventilation systems, and refrigeration equipment. MKT maintains preferred equipment partnerships with Rational, MKN, HOBART, Winterhalter, and Meiko, allowing it to act as a multi-brand integrator. Adjacent offerings include Cook & Chill system consulting, event and mobile kitchen solutions, 3D kitchen planning, and large-scale kitchen planning services. The company runs its own workshop, spare parts warehouse, and loaner equipment fleet, and provides 24/7 emergency maintenance with same-day or within-24-hour regional response.

MKT generates revenue through project-based kitchen planning and equipment sales, bundled installation and commissioning services, and recurring maintenance contracts, with project values ranging from approximately 10,000 EUR to over 100,000 EUR. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and quotes are customized per project. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and field-based: direct customer outreach via website, phone, WhatsApp, and on-site consultation, with project cycles that include needs analysis, 3D planning, equipment selection, installation, and ongoing service. There are no public funding rounds, no external investors, and no parent company — the business operates as an independent regional specialist.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• MEIKO Maschinenbau GmbH: Major German manufacturer of commercial dishwashing and waste handling equipment; both supplier-partner to MKT and a potential competitor offering integrated kitchen solutions directly to hospitality and large-scale catering customers.
• Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH: German commercial dishwasher and cleaning systems manufacturer; equipment partner of MKT but also a broad incumbent with growing direct sales and service network that competes for the same professional kitchen customers in Germany and Austria.
• HOBART GmbH: Leading global manufacturer of commercial dishwashing, cooking, and food preparation equipment; both partner and indirect competitor to MKT since HOBART sells through dealers but increasingly pushes direct sales in the DACH region for full kitchen solutions.
• Electrolux Professional AB: Global provider of professional kitchen, laundry, and food service equipment with significant DACH presence; comparable as a broad incumbent offering full kitchen solutions, financing, and service to hotels, restaurants, and large-scale catering.
• Rational AG: Global market leader in combi steamer technology for professional kitchens; core equipment partner of MKT but also a broad incumbent that increasingly offers kitchen planning services and could compete for end-customer relationships in the DACH region.
• MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neuber GmbH: German manufacturer of professional cooking equipment (ovens, combi steamers, modular cooking lines); core OEM partner of MKT with broad direct-sales coverage in the DACH professional kitchen segment, overlapping with MKT's customer base.

Direct peers

• CHG Großküchentechnik: Germany-based commercial kitchen planning, equipment supply, and service company operating across multiple regions; directly comparable as a regional integrator offering end-to-end kitchen solutions for hospitality and catering with a similar business model.

Emerging players

• Eloma GmbH: German specialist manufacturer of combi steamers and baking ovens for professional kitchens; an emerging DACH-focused player that competes for similar customer relationships as MKT, though with a narrower product focus.
• BLANCO Professional GmbH: Germany-based manufacturer of stainless steel catering and kitchen equipment; comparable as an emerging specialist in custom stainless steel kitchen installations and component solutions for professional kitchens across DACH.

Others

• Hailo Professional: German manufacturer and supplier of professional waste management and kitchen hygiene systems; thematically adjacent as a DACH equipment supplier often co-specified into commercial kitchen projects alongside MKT's installations.
