HIFFICIENCY® is the premium brand for modern, coated cooking and baking equipment - developed by physicists, tested in Michelin-starred kitchens, manufactured in Wilhelmshaven.
Manufacturing takes place at acs in Wilhelmshaven - right behind the dike, in new, one-of-a-kind production facilities. Every series product has its own computer program that stores every work step, machine setting and quality criterion. This is how consistently top quality is achieved even in large series.
What began over 30 years ago with high-tech coatings for the automotive industry - cylinder head gaskets, exhaust flanges, BMW series parts - proves itself today in catering, baking and home kitchens.
HIFFICIENCY® products are only slightly more expensive than budget equipment. Shorter cooking and baking times, less energy, no baking paper, easy cleaning and long durability quickly earn back the difference.
Sustainability, a clean environment and health aren't add-ons here - they're part of our standard. That's why we've consistently relied on PFAS-free coatings since 1998, well ahead of any regulatory pressure.
As a physicist, Dr. Stecher gets to the bottom of things - and constantly wants to improve everything further. In 2008 he founded acs, after leaving his father's automotive supply business.
He developed his first pan coating without PTFE/Teflon back in 1998, having recognized the dangers of this group of substances early on. Sustainability, a clean environment and health drive him: products that perform optimally, last long, and are safe to make and use.
To this day, he leads acs as managing partner.
Juan Amador's career began in Strümpfelbach in Swabia, as the son of Catalan-Andalusian parents. At just 25, he received his first Michelin star. His restaurants in Langen (2008-11) and Mannheim (2012-15) were awarded 3 stars - as is his current restaurant "Amador" in Vienna.
"In my kitchen I don't follow fashions or trends. My cuisine is like the little black dress - there's nothing to hide."
His Spanish temperament meets German precision: powerful, intense, aromatic - but always exact.
This connection is in every HIFFICIENCY® product.
