Soundbite

"We collaborated on catering with Melles & Stein at the Drupa trade fairs in 2012 and 2016 and have come to know and value the company as a very client-oriented and competent partner. What particularly impressed us was the personal service by the company management and its willingness to respond to our financial and fair-related ideas and wishes flexibly and creatively. Even when looking after our international guests in the major catering area with seating for several hundred guests and a correspondingly large number of beverages and hot meals around midday, the Melles & Stein team impressed with its relaxed professionalism and pleasantness. The service and the delicious meals were well received by the guests. We can recommend Melles & Stein with a good conscience as a catering partner for large and small trade fairs and events in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area."
