BÖHMER Gruppe

What BÖHMER Gruppe does

BÖHMER Gruppe is a privately held, family-owned German corporate group headquartered in Mönchengladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, operating as a nationwide co-packing and logistics provider for fresh produce. The group is built around Hans-Willi BÖHMER Verpackung und Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1925 and focused for nearly a century on potatoes and onions, and comprises four wholly-owned subsidiaries: BÖHMER Frische GmbH (fresh produce packaging and distribution), BÖHMER Transport GmbH (in-house logistics), and BIVANO GmbH (a modern BIO logistics center specializing in organic fruits and vegetables, added as a more recent acquisition).

The company operates five production and packaging sites across Germany — Mönchengladbach (HQ, adjacent to the A61 autobahn), Adersleben, Dannstadt, Südergellersen, and Unterschleißheim — with modern packing lines, weight-compliance monitoring, cooling systems, and HACCP/IFS/QS food-safety certifications. BÖHMER positions itself as a "Packdienstleister" (pack service provider) serving both German food retailers (Lebensmitteleinzelhandel) and agricultural producers (Landwirte und Produzenten) in the national and international potato and onion market. The technology base is conventional industrial packing and cold-chain logistics rather than software- or AI-enabled.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis through quote-based B2B arrangements with food retail and agricultural producer clients; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales with no public marketing channel mix beyond a corporate website and a d.vinci-powered careers portal. The customer base spans two enterprise verticals (food retail and agricultural producers), with the organic segment accessed through BIVANO. Recent strategic activity has focused on regulatory compliance (EU PPWR / EPR), operational digitization (digital maintenance management), and ongoing hiring across multiple sites — signals of a stable, incrementally growing family-owned operator rather than a high-velocity scaling business.

Broad incumbents

• Greenyard: European-listed fresh, frozen, and prepared produce group with a broad portfolio across categories and geographies. Comparable as a large-scale fresh-produce packer and supplier to European retailers, though Greenyard is significantly larger and more diversified than BÖHMER.
• Total Produce (now Dole plc): Major international fresh produce producer-distributor (combined with Dole). Comparable in supplying packed fresh produce to retail chains, though at a vastly larger scale and with vertically integrated farming operations rather than the pack-service model BÖHMER runs.

Direct peers

• Bodan Großhandel für Naturkost GmbH: Regional organic wholesaler serving natural food retailers in southern Germany with fresh produce as a key category. Comparable as a B2B organic fresh-produce distributor with pack-and-deliver capabilities, though smaller in scale than BÖHMER's nationwide reach.
• Dennree GmbH: German organic food wholesaler with national distribution, in-house logistics, and a broad assortment including fresh produce. Comparable to BÖHMER/BIVANO as a nationwide organic and fresh produce pack-and-distribute operator serving German retail.
• Hagimex GmbH & Co. KG: German produce company focused on onions, garlic, and root vegetables, supplying packed fresh produce to retail across Europe. Directly comparable in category focus (onions) and pack-service model serving food retail, though with a stronger export orientation than BÖHMER.
• Weiling GmbH: One of Germany's largest organic wholesalers and logistics operators, distributing fresh organic produce to specialist and mainstream retail. Directly comparable to BÖHMER's BIVANO organic logistics arm and to the group's broader fresh produce distribution function.
• Elbe-Obst Erzeugerorganisation r.V. German fruit producer organization that packs, sorts, and distributes apples and other fruits from the Altes Land region to food retail. Comparable in the pack-and-deliver model to German Lebensmitteleinzelhandel, though concentrated in fruit rather than potatoes/onions.

Regional players

• Naturkost West GmbH: Organic wholesaler covering the Rhine-Ruhr and western German natural food retail market with fresh produce as a core line. Comparable to BIVANO's organic logistics focus and to BÖHMER's Lebensmitteleinzelhandel service model, though on a regional rather than nationwide footprint.
• Rinklin Naturkost GmbH: Organic wholesaler in southwestern Germany distributing fresh organic produce to specialist retail. Comparable in organic fresh-produce packing and distribution activities, but operating regionally versus BÖHMER's nationwide German platform.

Emerging players

• Naturkost Schramm GmbH & Co. KG: Smaller German organic wholesaler operating in the Rhine-Neckar region with fresh produce distribution to natural food retailers. Comparable as a regional organic fresh-produce distributor and potential roll-up target alongside BÖHMER/BIVANO.
