Duni Group Celebrates Double Victory at the Cooking Awards 2026

In a remarkable achievement, Duni Group has been honored with two prestigious gold Cooking Awards at the 2026 event organized by the magazine Cooking + Catering Inside. The awards recognize the company's innovative products: Velviq®, which clinched the title in the Tabletop category, and Vista, awarded in the Food Service category. This recognition validates Duni Group's ongoing commitment to sustainability and excellence in the food service industry.

The Cooking Awards have become a respected benchmark within the catering and food service sectors, with professional chefs casting their votes for the most exciting new product launches across various categories. The competition is fierce, as products are evaluated on their ingenuity, performance, and the impact they have on the industry. Duni Group's double win thus underscores the quality and relevance of their offerings.

Velviq®: A Sustainable Table Cover Solution

Velviq® is noteworthy for being an FSC®-certified table cover material made from responsibly sourced, wood-based raw materials. It showcases a conscious design, utilizing less material per cover compared to traditional, heavier alternatives. "Velviq® represents a natural progression in our efforts to expand our portfolio of sustainable solutions," expresses Ida Lundqvist, Product Manager for Table Covers at Duni Group. The recognition from industry professionals not only affirms the quality of Velviq® but also strengthens Duni Group’s credibility within the competitive German food service market.

Duni Group’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their carefully curated range of products. Velviq® not only enhances presentation but also reflects the emerging trends in resource-conscious consumer choices. The recognition from peers in the industry highlights the importance of innovation in aligning business practices with environmental goals.

Vista: Merging Design and Performance

The Vista product range combines aesthetic appeal with high functionality and sustainability features. Notable characteristics include a gray base that adds elegance, adjustable steam vents ensuring optimal food preservation, anti-fog lids for better visibility, and a leak-proof construction that guarantees reliability during use. The key highlight is that Vista is created entirely from 100% recyclable polypropylene, devoid of carbon black, ensuring full traceability within recycling systems.

"Our vision for Vista was to merge practical utility with circular principles," states Karolin Larsson, Product Concept Designer at Duni Group. This gold award marks Vista's second accolade, cementing its status as a product of vital relevance in today’s environmentally-focused market. As the demand for sustainable packaging solutions grows, products like Vista exemplify how design can align with eco-friendliness.
