RUNGIS, FRANCE March 24, 2017: Friedr. Dick and Worldchefs are pleased to announce the renewal of a partnership that began nearly a decade ago in 2008, with a new four-year agreement that will see this powerful collaboration extended until 2020.

Friedr. Dick, already a trusted supplier to culinary schools, hotels, restaurants and other professional clients worldwide, is continuously seeking new ways to add value for their users. “To continue in our role of premier manufacturer we need to keep innovating, and for that we also rely on input from our customers,” Steffen Uebele, Director of Sales and Marketing at Friedr.
