LYON, FRANCE 2019 – Diversey is preparing to continue its long-standing hygiene membership with the BOCUSE D’OR world chef championship. Held from 29-30 January 2019, in the exclusive Chef’s Village at the EUREXPO venue, LYON – for the biennial SIRHA International Hotel, Catering and Food Trade Exhibition - the Bocuse d’Or is one of the world’s most prestigious cooking competitions. As the culmination of a number of preliminary rounds, the grand final consists of 24 teams of 3-4 young chefs, representing countries from across Europe and other continents - including some African nations for the first time.

Plant-Based Formulations
Eric Vaucher, Country Director, Diversey France states: “Diversey are exceptionally proud to be associated once again with the Bocuse d’Or. Just as essential to cooking as the creativity of the chefs from the various national teams, is the cleanliness of the kitchen environment in which this exciting food is prepared. We are pleased to be the cleaning partner for the show and the spotlight will be closely on our SURE™ range of products as the contestants will be using them throughout the competition. The formulation of these cleaning products perfectly matches the philosophy that motivates the contestants – incorporating the key values of modernity, innovation and perfect know-how.”
