Our medium-sized company, with approximately 50 employees, has been active in the storage and handling of agricultural products for many years. We operate oil mills at three locations, where we produce cold-pressed cooking oils (conventional and organic). The facilities have been expanded to include a modern bottling line, enabling us to integrate all stages of the value chain—from raw material procurement to storage, processing, and bottling—within our company. This supports our quality strategy and gives us a competitive edge. Our products are distributed nationwide through food retailers and discount stores.
Our private label “Moritz” is one of the growth drivers in Germany’s cold-pressed cooking oil market. In addition, we supply leading retailers with private labels.
Take on a strong network
A valued colleague from our sales team is retiring in November.
For us, this means we’re looking for someone who can fill these big shoes.
For you, this means you won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll take over a well-structured, established customer network with stable sales.
As an owner-managed company based in Büren, with many years of experience in the trade and processing of agricultural products, we offer you the freedom that experienced sales professionals need. We don’t have rigid corporate guidelines—instead, you’ll have direct access to senior management.
