A unique, high-quality spice concept as a gateway to the growing German B2B and B2C spice market

The company stands out for its specialization in the organic food retail sector, combined with its position in the urban premium segment. It offers a diversified product range that includes not only organic food products but also exclusive natural cosmetics and select organic wines. The keys to its success lie in high customer loyalty, supported by tailored services such as a bistro offering daily rotating vegetarian and vegan dishes, personalized advice, and active social media engagement—all of which have fostered a loyal, community-driven base of regular customers.

An established company in the organic food industry is for sale, featuring two complementary business segments: the retail of high-quality organic malt products and the production of natural organic vinegars. Thanks to additional certifications in accordance with Bioland and Demeter guidelines, premium-quality products can also be produced and sold in both segments. Malt Products Division The division with the highest sales is the trade in organic malt products, particularly barley malt extract and barley malt flour. The products are primarily used in the artisan baking industry and in the natural foods sector. The company has a loyal customer base that has grown over many years and maintains stable supplier relationships with a renowned German manufacturer that primarily uses domestically grown raw materials. The main sales market is Germany, supplemented by export sales within Europe. Vinegar Production Division The long-established vinegar business has undergone strategic modernization in recent years and offers significant growth potential. Using a traditional production process, the company produces natural, unfiltered organic vinegars with mild acidity and a wide variety of flavors. Products include fruit, wine, grain, vegetable, and balsamic vinegars. The raw materials come primarily from the region. Existing fermentation capacity allows for a rapid and cost-effective expansion of production. Distribution is handled regionally through, among others: • Supermarkets • Grocery stores • Delicatessens and farm stands In addition, brand-name manufacturers are supplied with vinegar products. In addition, the company operates a retail business selling standard vinegars. Corporate Headquarters A modern production and warehouse facility with office space was constructed using solid-structure construction. • Gross floor area: More than 1,000 m² • Excellent transportation access • Close to the highway Financial Situation Revenue is stable at approximately 600,000 EUR. The organic vinegar segment, in particular, offers significant potential for expansion. Subject of Sale The entire business is for sale, including fixed assets, the customer base, supplier relationships, and the existing production and distribution structure. The company also owns a residential property. Alternatively, the acquisition of individual business units (organic malt trading or organic vinegar production) is also possible. The purchase price is based on the net book value of the existing facilities, equipment, and the property used for business operations. Target Audience The company is aimed in particular at strategic investors, food manufacturers, trading companies, or entrepreneurs who wish to take over and further develop existing production capacities in the field of high-quality vinegar production. At the same time, this presents an opportunity to continue a premium brand that is well-established in the market and to benefit from its brand recognition and existing distribution networks.

The specialty store focuses primarily on providing advice and selling pet food and gardening supplies. The product range also includes items for the home and yard. Stationery, tobacco products, a lottery outlet, and a package service round out the offerings. The company has been in business for over 10 years and enjoys a very stable financial position.

The company is a well-established player in the biotech sector with a history spanning more than two decades, characterized by a robust, global network of suppliers and customers. Through the distribution of high-quality biotech products for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, it has built a strong market position that is continually reinforced by ongoing innovation and a high reputation within the industry. With a clear value-creation profile, it offers an excellent platform for potential successors to gain a foothold in a growth-oriented and dynamic environment.

The company is positioned in the healthy organic snacks segment and offers an established brand concept that has already proven successful in the market, with a clear focus on “100 percent organic and healthy.” The value proposition lies in the combination of an established word-and-design trademark with a validated e-commerce strategy and a turnkey production solution, enabling a swift resumption or further development of the business. Of particular note are the existing proof of concept, the operational testing conducted to date through 2022, and the overall very low implementation risk for a buyer.
