Direct peers

• Dr. August Oetker KG: The other major arm of the Oetker family business empire, focused on baking products, frozen pizza, and food. Highly comparable as a German family-owned conglomerate sharing the Oetker heritage, with overlapping bakery food (Dr. Oetker baking powders/mixes vs. Martin Braun ingredients) and consumer-brand DNA.
• Pernod Ricard: Global premium spirits and wine group. Closely comparable to Henkell Freixenet division (sparkling wine, wine, spirits) in product category, premium positioning, and global distribution scale.
• Accor SA: Global hospitality operator with significant luxury and premium hotel portfolio. Comparable to the Oetker Hotels/Masterpiece Hotels division in operating model, premium positioning, and geographic mix.
• Bahlsen GmbH & Co. KG: German family-owned confectionery and bakery products company. Comparable to the Martin Braun-Gruppe bakery food division and to the broader Oetker family-owned, multi-generation German consumer food business model.
• Budenheim Iberica SLU: Note: Budenheim is itself a division of Oetker Collection; the relevant comparison is to other specialty inorganic chemicals producers such as ICL Group or Chemours, but the most directly comparable peer entity within reach is the Budenheim subsidiary's main specialty-phosphates competitor Chemische Fabrik Budenheim KG (unrelated historical name). Best comparable peer is therefore broader specialty chemicals players.

Broad incumbents

• Franz Haniel & Cie. German family-owned diversified holding company with operations across multiple industries including logistics, real estate, and chemicals. Comparable as a privately held, family-controlled German conglomerate employing a similar multi-sector, long-duration capital allocation approach.
• Tengelmann Group: Privately held German family-owned group with interests in grocery retail (Aldi Nord), real estate, and venture capital. Comparable as a diversified German family conglomerate with mixed B2B/B2C exposure and a long-term family ownership structure.
• LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton: Global luxury conglomerate with direct overlap on the Masterpiece Hotels division (e.g., Cheval Blanc, Belmond) and sparkling wine/wine via Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot. Comparable as a multi-brand owner of premium luxury hospitality and beverage assets.
• Henkel AG & Co. KGaA: Large German KGaA (limited partnership) consumer products and adhesives company. Comparable corporate structure (KGaA form) and German industrial/consumer goods heritage, even though larger and publicly listed.
• Robert Bosch GmbH: Large German family foundation-owned diversified industrial/technology group. Comparable as a major German privately controlled diversified industrial conglomerate with strong brand heritage and long-term orientation, though operating in different end markets.
