HOUN\u00d6’s story started with Houm\u00f8ller brothers’ ambition<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

1977 was the year when the two Houm\u00f8ller brothers, Svend and Hans J\u00f8rgen, built their first combi oven in Randers, Denmark. The idea of making the combi oven first saw its peak of daylight, when success at Svend\u2019s blooming restaurant meant the need for bigger kitchen ovens. None of the industrial ovens on the market at that time suited his needs.

So the brothers decided to build their very own combi oven starting in Hans J\u00f8rgen\u2019s garage. With a solid background in engineering, Hans J\u00f8rgen had the skills to develop and lay out
the technical foundation for what later became HOUN\u00d6\u2019s first combi oven. Later on, Hans J\u00f8rgen was never shy to admit that the first prototype was not the prettiest but worked perfectly. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

HOUN\u00d6’s journey from local to global scale<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n

HOUN\u00d6 has long since outgrown the small garage, and resides in a 3.200 m2 manufacturing site still located in Randers making it a strong part of our Danish DNA.

And the rest is history. With more than 45 years of experience in the combi oven industry, HOUN\u00d6 has continued to develop a strong knowhow within innovation and IoT in the combi oven industry.
As a result, engineering remains a strong backbone at the HOUN\u00d6 we know today where quality, functionality combined with elegant Danish design is the essence of our products.

In 2006 HOUN\u00d6 was acquired by the American Middleby Corporation<\/a><\/strong> providing professional foodservice and food processing equipment worldwide.

Fun fact 1 in 3 restaurants worldwide uses Middleby equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
