VITO Wins the German Sustainability Award 2026

VITO AG Wins the German Sustainability Award 2026 for Frying Oil Filtration Technology Award recognizes measurable impact in waste reduction, cost efficiency, and CO₂ savings

Dubai, UAE / Tuttlingen, Germany — November 10, 2025

VITO AG, the global manufacturer of professional frying oil filtration systems, has been awarded the German Sustainability Award 2026, the most prestigious sustainability award in Europe. The jury honored the VITO Frying Oil Filter for its tangible contribution to reducing oil waste, emissions, and operational costs in commercial kitchens around the world.

The award recognizes companies whose products deliver proven environmental and economic value. The jury’s evaluation focuses on solutions that conserve resources, reduce CO₂ emissions, and create lasting impact across the entire product life cycle.

According to the jury statement:

VITO removes particles and bitterness through daily microfiltration in the fryer, doubling the usable lifespan of frying oil and reducing consumption by up to 50 percent. Less oil consumed means less packaging, transport, disposal, and lower emissions, while remaining chemical free and simple to integrate.

A measurable impact on sustainability and cost savings

Across hotels, restaurants, and quick service chains, VITO reduces frying oil consumption by up to 50%. This directly results in:

• lower oil purchasing costs
• fewer oil changes
• reduced labor and disposal handling
• consistent food quality and cleaner frying processes

 

In many kitchens, VITO reaches a return on investment in as little as 8 to 12 months.

The system filters oil directly inside the fryer at operating temperature. No draining, no manual lifting, no additional chemicals. Installed worldwide in more than 150 countries, VITO has become a recognized standard for sustainable frying operations.

Serving the UAE and GCC market

The award reinforces VITO’s role in supporting sustainability and ESG goals across the Middle East, where the food and hospitality sector continues to grow at record pace.

Hotels, restaurants, cloud kitchens, and F&B groups in the region are choosing VITO to:

• improve product quality
• reduce oil waste
• decrease CO₂ emissions
• document savings and compliance

 

With the introduction of the new VITO XM continuous filtration system and the FT Connect rechargeable oil quality tester, VITO strengthens its focus on high efficiency and data driven kitchen operations.

A milestone for the global team

Andreas Schmidt, CEO of VITO AG, stated:

This award confirms our commitment to actively shaping the transition to a more sustainable foodservice industry with simple yet highly effective technologies. Sustainability works best when it is economically sound and easy to implement.
