One of this year’s new bronze sponsors is MAYWAY. The company, which is based in Seiersberg near Graz, is mainly supporting the “culinary skills” competitions in the Services category.

The new EuroSkills 2020 sponsor MAYWAY offers everything needed in the catering industry. As a specialist in catering technology, the company covers everything from the planning of large-scale catering establishments to refrigeration plant construction, and works closely with professionals from the catering and hotel industries. As a bronze sponsor, MAYWAY is making its expertise and products available to EuroSkills 2020 for the Cooking, Butchery, Bakery and Restaurant Service skill categories.

Swen May, managing director of MAYWAY, explains why EuroSkills 2020 has attracted the interest of the family business: “We have been training apprentices at our company every year since MAYWAY’s foundation 55 years ago, because our apprentices of today are MAYWAY’s skilled workforce of tomorrow. Because of this and because the training of young, skilled workers plays a key role in the continuous improvement of our customer service, we attach great value to practical and wide-ranging apprenticeship training. As mechatronics engineers specialising in refrigeration technology, on successfully completing their training our apprentices find that a world of opportunities opens up to them and that they are among the very best in their field. It is fantastic to see that our MAYWAY skilled workers experience a very high level of recognition and appreciation in their job. I am delighted to say that this is leading to more and more young people deciding to start an apprenticeship with MAYWAY, and other companies are also realising how important it is to invest in the vocational training of young, skilled workers. The EUROSKILLS competitions provide an excellent stage on which to showcase this, and that’s why we are giving this event our fullest support.”

We’d like to say big thank you to MAYWAY. We are Skills!
