American in origin, Sky Chefs was founded by American Airlines in Texas in 1942, making it the oldest independent caterer in the world. In Germany, LSG was founded by Lufthansa in 1966 as an independent company. After establishing a strong market presence for Sky Chefs across the United States and Latin America, LSG first acquired a stake in the company in 1993. Already back then, the two companies started to market their airline catering activities under the “LSG Sky Chefs” brand. In 2001, LSG fully acquired Sky Chefs. Since then, LSG Sky Chefs has continued its global expansion primarily through joint ventures and partnerships throughout Asia and Africa. Today, LSG Sky Chefs delivers over 308 million meals a year and is present at 131 locations in 49 countries.
Every day, we enable people around the world to enjoy a moment of pleasure. Our products accompany them on their lunch break, while travelling, on the road with family and friends, at home or even into outer space.
That is our mission: we connect food and people. Everywhere.
In accomplishing that mission, we focus on three important themes that we see as our greatest strengths. Culinary. Consistent. Connected.
Our first key strength is culinary.
Food is at the core of what we do. Our chefs and their teams are passionate about their work. They stand for excellence, expertise and attention to detail. In doing so, they get to the heart of our customers’ wishes and needs.
The flavor of our food can be international, experimental or local, but above all it is one thing: authentic.
Our second key strength is consistency.
Today, more than ever, we experience how fragile the world around us can be. This makes it all the more important to have a reliable, experienced partner at your side.
Our dedicated employees live consistency every day, and prove it by producing high-quality, safe products and services for our customers while striving to do it in the most sustainable manner possible. And by delivering them on time.
Third, we connect.
We all live in a digital world where people can connect across borders and choose from a seemingly endless variety of offerings. This also creates new demands in the markets we operate.
We have proven technologies and smart digital solutions in-house that provide our customers and consumers with a seamless end-to-end experience and ease of usability.
But the way we connect goes even further. We bring our large network, our partners and our experts to the table and connect them with our clients for the best and most tailored solution.
