Innovation & Responsibility

The kitchen of tomorrow — resource-light and intelligent.

We don't just plan for today. Into every project we bring technologies that save energy, water and food — and visibly take the load off your team. Innovation isn't an add-on for us; it's part of every plan.

Green

Resource-light kitchens

From green stainless steel and energy-optimisation systems to heat recovery — we cut consumption and CO₂ right from the planning stage.

Avoiding waste

Waste avoidance from the ground up: wet-waste plants, reusable logistics and AI-assisted waste monitoring that makes food waste visible and reduces it.

Data-driven planning

Artificial intelligence in the commercial kitchen: precise demand forecasts, smart production control and monitoring — less overproduction, more efficiency.

Robotics

Automation & relief

Robotics in the commercial kitchen takes over repetitive tasks — from automated washing and conveying to cobots on the line. More time for the craft.

Craft in the professional kitchen
1981

Hans Peter Mühlethaler
Our story

Over four decades of craft and dedication.

HPM Consult was founded in 1981 by Hans Peter Mühlethaler — with the ambition to develop, for every client, the kitchen that truly fits them. His sense of precision and hospitality, shaped by his Swiss roots, carries our company to this day.

Since then, more than 500 projects across Europe have taken shape. In 2020 Hans Peter Mühlethaler passed away. His son André Mühlethaler now leads HPM Consult together with Linda Mühlethaler as a family business.

“We create spaces where enjoyment happens.” — André Mühlethaler

  • One dedicated contact
    From the first idea to handover — the same person who truly knows your project.
  • Independent & brand-neutral
    We recommend what fits you — not what a manufacturer dictates.
  • Support over the years
    After opening we stay by your side — for adjustments, extensions and questions.
