HOUNÖ as an official sponsor partner to Euro Skills Herning 2025
As official partner, HOUNÖ proudly supported the Patisserie and Restaurant Service competitions with Invoq ovens. Experts and participants alike praised the ovens for their ease of use, reliability, and professional quality – giving competitors the best possible conditions to perform at the highest level.
At EuroSkills Herning 2025, the Invoq Combi oven took center stage in two categories: Patisserie and Restaurant Service (Waiter). As young talents from across Europe competed to showcase their skills, the ovens played a vital role in ensuring consistency, precision, and the best possible working conditions.
Empowering talents with local partnership
Sector Manager Helle Mølgaard from EuroSkills Herning 2025 emphasized the importance of providing professional equipment for the competitors:
Of course, we have focused on securing professional equipment, so our participants have the very best conditions to perform at the highest possible level. We have also focused on creating sponsorships with suppliers from Denmark – making use of our local environment so we can showcase what Denmark can do and what we are truly skilled at here. That is why we are also very pleased to have HOUNÖ on board for the patisserie competition.
International recognition of Invoq ovens
The value of the Invoq ovens was also highlighted by Jean-Marc Serra, French Expert at EuroSkills Herning 2025, who accompanied the French competitor and works as a teacher at the École de Boulangerie et de Pâtisserie de Paris. He praised the ovens for their intuitive design and flexibility:
The ovens are easy to use, with the tablet interface and many languages available. For my student, this made it simple to manage times, temperatures, and airflow. Frankly, it’s perfect. It rises very quickly in temperature and it’s a great product.
Danish expertise in focus
Representing Denmark in the Patisserie competition, Rie Lindehammer, Expert at EuroSkills, emphasized how important it is for competitors to feel comfortable with the ovens right from the start:
It is really important that on the first day, when our competitors test everything, they immediately feel that the oven is easy to handle, that they can understand the programs, and that they can trust the equipment. The ease of use is a big advantage – they can set their own language and operate it effortlessly.
Proud Danish contribution
As a Danish manufacturer, HOUNÖ is proud to support EuroSkills by providing Invoq ovens. The ovens not only gave competitors a reliable platform to work from but also highlighted how local innovation and craftsmanship contribute to shaping the future of European gastronomy and hospitality.
With hundreds of young professionals competing, EuroSkills Herning was not only a stage for talent but also a showcase of how the right equipment can empower the next generation to deliver their very best.
