STUMPF GROUP

What STUMPF GROUP does

STUMPF GROUP, legally Heinrich Stumpf GmbH & Co. KG, is a family-owned German holding company headquartered in Großen-Buseck, Hesse, operating continuously since 1930 when founder Heinrich Stumpf established a Metzgerei (butcher shop). The group today operates three integrated divisions: Heinrich Stumpf manufactures and distributes branded German Mettwürste (sausages) and related meat products under the Picnics, Bissn, G'streifte, and Heinrichs brands; Fidus Dienstleistung GmbH provides personnel support, facility maintenance, and production staffing services to the food industry; and Lugejo GmbH leases and sells food production equipment and machines, helping food manufacturers automate industrial processes.

The group's core technology centers on food production systems and machinery for meat processing and manufacturing, with in-house production and an integrated B2B equipment business. Distribution is primarily direct, via the group's own manufacturing facilities for consumer products and direct enterprise sales for equipment leasing. The company employs 51-100 people and serves the German food manufacturing sector with a horizontal segmentation approach.

Revenue is generated through three streams: branded food product sales (one-time consumer purchases and wholesale distribution), equipment leasing and sales via Lugejo (recurring lease and one-time sale revenue), and personnel services via Fidus (service contracts). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The group is privately held under family ownership with no institutional investors or public listing.
