About Us
Our History and Values
As a genuine family business with nearly 100 years of history, we place great importance on combining tradition with modernity.
It all started in 1925 as a small grocery store in Niedergrenzebach, in northern Hessen. Our company has grown from generation to generation, expanding and diversifying its business fields along the way.
We are proud to look back on our history and look forward to ambitiously continuing to write it in all our buisiness fields.

Our Warehouse
Since 2013, we are operating in our modern facility in Büttelborn, just 20 minutes away from Frankfurt Airport.
In 2021, the operation's size was doubled. The new building was designed according to the latest logistics concepts, achieving high efficiency.
Our facility boasts modern storage space across five temperature zones. The spacious staging area ensures excellent delivery conditions for up to 20.000 items in cross-docking.
Regionality & Sustainability
We act in accordance with ecological and economic sustainability. An increasingly important aspect for us is to rely on suppliers and products directly from the region.
In addition to collaborating with regional suppliers, we consider the efficiency and climate compatibility of our operating sites to be our responsibility. We produce more than 40% of our electricity through a large photovoltaic system.
With our ammonia refrigeration system, we operate as efficiently as possible. All our storage sides are ammonia cooled.
Step by step all our trucks will be modified with solar-powered cooling systems.
Logistics
With our own fleet of over 60 temperature-controlled two-chamber trucks, covering all temperature ranges, we achieve the highest delivery reliability. This is also based on our more than 80 employed drivers.
Deliveries to Frankfurt Airport currently take place twice a day. The short distance allows quick operational flexibility.
Our long-term suppliers in the fresh produce sector deliver their fresh goods to our warehouse several times a day. The location in the Rhine-Main area also gives us the possibility for the daily delivery of up to 20.000 products in the cross-docking system.
