About Us

Since 1965, there has been no other institute as actively involved as KIN in the field of further education, research and development as well as quality assurance for the food industry.

The industry benefits from the highly customer-oriented cooperation of different working fields as well as from the network with leading European food institutes which has been in operation since 1993.

Under the umbrella association KIN Food Institute, two non-profit vocational education operations are available:  Vocational Education Department (seminars) and the Professional School for Food Technicans. The taxable service fields “Quality Assurance” and "Food Processes" are combined in KIN GmbH, a commercial subsidiary. Sole shareholder of KIN GmbH is the KIN Food Institute whose general manager Rolf Hornig is also general manager of KIN GmbH.

Members of the registered non-profit association benefit from the broad service spectrum offered by KIN. They can also take advantage of the KIN offers with membership conditions.

Due to its diverse competencies, KIN is able to support its members and customers with high quality assistance, advice and problem solutions.
