Our history

Hello, we are Roland and Armin – founders and minds behind pro planche !

In 2018...

...we sat together and discussed, once again, the latest innovations presented on television shows. USPs, market potential, game-changers, multifunctional, all-rounders. An invention had to be groundbreaking to be successful in the market. But unfortunately, most products were only superficially good, and the marketing behind them was better than the product itself…

Hungry, we went into the kitchen – we wanted to make a quick curry. We took vegetables and meat out of the fridge, got out the knife, and then a cutting board. A wooden one, of course – sustainability is important to us. But what about the meat? Plastic would be better – hygiene and easy cleaning are essential… and that's where we got stuck…

There are countless kitchen gadgets – but when it came to one of the most essential elements of cooking – the cutting board – nothing on the market truly satisfied us. Two years and numerous tests later, we have a product that meets our requirements 100%.

Made from paper, this material is a true material of the future. Natural, durable, and simply beautiful. The "slate" color of the cutting board is timeless and elegant. It can withstand the processing of tough foods like berries, beets, or onions and is also easy and thorough to clean in any dishwasher. Temperatures up to 170°C will not damage the board. Ideal for placing hot pots on or for plating food.

Pro planche stands for sustainability, hygiene, and durability. Thoughtful design, regionally produced and manufactured from future-proof materials. Our products are manufactured in our home region of East Tyrol by a social enterprise, thus supporting those who are socially disadvantaged – something we are also proud of.
