I will always be a MEIKOian.
What is your MEIKO 95th anniversary story?
A standout moment for me personally was receiving the MEIKO 2021 Marketing Award, which was recognition for all the hard work we've accomplished, especially during the pandemic. That the work is really appreciated is very motivating and goes a long way.
Another successful project was probably the largest single order MEIKO UK has ever received for under counter machines. The order volume was 4.5 million euros. This involved incredible teamwork in order to implement the order in a very short time, sales, service and logistics worked hand in hand. An amazing achievement.
What place does MEIKO have in your life?
MEIKO is like my extended family and I feel like I am very much a part of it.
What makes MEIKO unique for you?
As a foundation and successful company, we have the opportunity to set clear priorities. These are the employees. Without them, the company would not exist. Only with their openness, identification and daily commitment, MEIKO is permanently successful. The company's founders recognized this very early on.
I will always be a MEIKOian
If you were to make a promise to MEIKO, what would it be?
I will always be a MEIKOian.
Do you have a favorite MEIKO machine?
The MiQ. With its outstanding design, function and technology, the MiQ is still setting standards. The machine is a milestone in warewashing technology because it is able to simplify kitchen processes, ensure hygiene standards at a very high level and is very economical. For me, the MiQ represents the perfect balance between high standards, durable functionality, resource savings and clear operability.
What should MEIKO have changed long ago?
Not much. We regularly prove that we are a trendsetter in warewashing technology, that we are at the forefront of technology and that we constantly surprise the market with innovations. This gives me a deep sense of confidence and the certainty that necessary changes will be recognized and implemented in time by good management.
Protecting our environment requires new solutions
MEIKO is the source of cleanliness. For which future challenges could MEIKO develop new solutions?
We have many precious resources. One of them is water. The UK will be particularly affected by water scarcity in 15 years' time. There are certainly many starting points for new solutions.
What does hardly anyone know about MEIKO?
Our long and extensive history, could come further to the fore. The fact that we have been developing ideas since 1927 and that we are one of the leaders in the market of warewashing technology worldwide is impressive. There are not many companies that have been operating successfully on the market for so long. This is the best proof that we at MEIKO are doing a lot right for our customers.
What do you wish MEIKO for its birthday?
Well, first of all, congratulations on your 95th birthday. We are only 5 years away from 100 years of MEIKO. Let's make the most of them and of course the next 95 years - for even more success and clean solutions.
