This internationally recognised award acknowledges design quality and innovation, affirming MKN’s continued leadership in setting new benchmarks for performance, durability and user-centric functionality in the commercial kitchen spaces.
In February 2025, MKN unveiled its OPTIMA Line that combines technological innovation with proven quality and ease of use to deliver ‘exceptional performance’.
MKN says OPTIMA represents a new era in ergonomic, efficient and future-ready kitchen technology. The kitchen equipment manufacturer says it combines advanced touchscreen functionality with intuitive tactile control to address the real-world demands of professional chefs and kitchen operators.
Drawing on decades of expertise and a relentless drive for innovation, MKN has brought to market a dynamic product range tailored to meet the evolving demands of foodservice professionals – from hospitality and institutional catering to the maritime sector.
Wayne Bennett, regional vice president of the UK & Ireland at MKN, said: "Winning the Red Dot Award really is an affirmation of everything we stand for at MKN – innovation, quality, and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. It’s not just an award, it’s a reflection of the passion, precision and commitment to quality our entire team brings to the development of our best ever OPTIMA range.”
