What LEHVOSS Nutrition does
LEHVOSS Nutrition is a Hamburg, Germany-based business activity of the fourth-generation family-owned LEHVOSS Group (Lehmann&Voss&Co., founded 1894). It markets and distributes nutraceutical ingredients and high-purity minerals to B2B customers across food supplements, functional foods, and animal health applications throughout Europe, with additional presence in North America, China, Korea, and Russia. The Nutrition division contributed €40 million to the LEHVOSS Group's €384 million 2018 revenue (the most recent disclosed figure).
The company's product portfolio is structured around trademarked clinically-researched branded ingredients from worldwide manufacturers (e.g., Longvida®, OptiMSM®, PureWay®, Benicaros®, Solnul®, Zooca® Calanus Oil, Golden Omega®, Pomella®), proprietary value-added ingredient ranges (PHARMAGNESIA® high-purity minerals compliant with EP/USP/DAB/DAC pharmacopeias, PlantNutra® optimized botanicals, Essentials), and a smaller finished-product line including softgels and capsules. Underlying technology centers on lipid-based delivery systems (PureWay® liposomal formulations for Vitamin C, CoQ10, Glutathione, Melatonin, Vitamin D, B-Complex, Quercetin, Multi, Creatine), bioavailability optimization, and microencapsulation (e.g., PureSea® Protect).
The business model is transaction-fee B2B distribution: LEHVOSS sources ingredients from third-party manufacturers globally and resells them via a pan-European subsidiary network with dedicated local sales teams in Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Nordics (via the Engredo joint venture). The company serves over 7,000 customers worldwide and has been rated A* by 90%+ of customers using its supplier evaluation questionnaire. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, HACCP, organic certifications, and UN Global Compact signatory status (since 2017) underpin the regulated-supplier positioning. Growth has been driven by a combination of organic product line expansion and bolt-on M&A, with recent transactions including Osthoff Omega (2018), GP2C (2021), Ashdowne Oil and Chemical (2023), and the Engredo Nordic JV (2021).
