Bio Planete

What Bio Planete does

Bio Planète (legal entity Ölmühle Moog GmbH) is Europe's first organic oil mill, established in 1984 in Lommatzsch, Germany, with a French operating subsidiary (Huilerie Moog SAS) based in Bram. The company produces cold-pressed organic oils from seeds, fruits, and nuts organized into three product lines: Classic Oils (everyday cooking and frying — mild/medium/fruity extra virgin olive oils, coconut oil, cooking and frying oils), Gourmet Oils (specialty infusions such as olive oil with truffle, basil, garlic, chili, lemon, and orange, plus nut and seed oils including walnut, sesame, and avocado), and Vitality Oils (omega-3-rich health-positioned oils such as black cumin, flaxseed, camelina, and milk thistle). Core technical capabilities center on cold-pressing with monitored temperature to preserve authentic taste and essential components, maceration of fresh Italian Alba truffles in premium olive oil to produce natural truffle infusions without added essential oils or flavors, and 3D filtration applied to specific products such as flaxseed oil. Approximately 140 employees support production across the German and French sites, with managing director Judith Faller-Moog leading the founder-Moog family-owned business.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce through shop.bioplanete.de with B2B wholesale distribution to merchants, retailers, and foodservice operators across Europe via a "Store Finder" locator, alongside a multi-language brand presence spanning English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese websites. Customer segments include health-conscious consumers (primary), B2B merchants and retailers (primary), gourmet and culinary enthusiasts, and gift buyers. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales priced per unit on bottles ranging from 100ml specialty oils (e.g., €14.99 for olive oil and truffle) to multi-liter bulk formats (1L, 3L), with curated gift sets priced €9.99–€29.49; no subscription or recurring model is disclosed.

Bio Planète holds organic certifications from three EU control bodies (DE-ÖKO-006, FR-BIO-01, AT-BIO-902) covering distinct product portfolios per jurisdiction, was the first German company to receive a Planet Score sustainability rating with A grades across multiple environmental categories, and maintains long-standing sourcing relationships with farmers in Portugal, Italy, Greece (Crete P.G.I.), Spain, and France. The company remains family-owned with no external investment, private equity involvement, or parent company disclosed, and revenue/financial figures are not publicly reported.
