COMPANY
As an owner-managed, internationally active corporate group, we develop and produce a wide range of branded confectionery products that have been marketed with great success for decades in the German food retail and discount sectors, as well as internationally. Our success is based on strong and popular brands with high name recognition, our innovative strength, and a team-oriented and dynamic corporate culture in which appreciation, innovation, and authenticity are put into practice. To realize our continued, highly ambitious expansion plans, we are seeking a leader with extensive experience and a proven track record in the domestic and international FMCG business, as well as a holistic entrepreneurial mindset, to support the CEO/owner.
