accente yesterday and tomorrow

• History
  The beginnings of accente date back to 1959. The idea was born out of a very natural situation: to eat where you work or are a visitor. accente not only readily responded to that idea but optimized it. Freshness was the watchword. Without long distances to cover. Therefore, from the beginning, the meals were not carted all the way from somewhere but prepared right on site, in the Fairgrounds. This means freshness is a day’s affair, which you cannot only taste but which is also sustainable. As expectations grew, quality levels rose and people wanted to enjoy their meals and drinks ever more, accente turned from a provider to a ravisher.

• Looking ahead
  Thinking today of tomorrow is a main motto for accente. Not only with “Green Catering“ at events, galas and in the Kap Europa congress house. But also by following a sustainable corporate strategy.
  For accente, thinking ahead also means: Always keeping pace with time, which includes, on the one hand, the modern improvement of all infrastructural facilities and optimal networking on the Fairgrounds and to focus on personnel development. Because only a modern and attractive employer can win employee loyalty and assure the required quality with a foresighted approach for the company as a whole.
