What Evgedem Einkaufs & Verkaufs- genossenschaft e.G. does

Evgedem Einkaufs & Verkaufsgenossenschaft e.G. is a registered cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft) headquartered in Würzburg, Germany, serving the professional meat and gastronomy trade. Founded in 1900 as Würzburger Häute- und Fett-Verkaufsgesellschaft GmbH, the entity has operated continuously for over 120 years and now functions as a B2B wholesale partner for butchers, gastronomy operators, and bulk buyers, primarily in the Unterfranken region of Bavaria. The core offering spans fresh meat from an in-house EU-approved cutting facility (approval BY 60152, operational since 2009), butcher machinery and equipment, non-food consumables (packaging, cleaning, hygiene supplies), and equipment repair services delivered via an in-house workshop.

The business model rests on cooperative procurement and distribution: members pool demand to access aggregated purchasing power across meat, equipment, and consumables, while the cooperative earns margin on product sales and equipment service fees. Order capture runs through three channels—an online shop, field sales representatives, and phone-based ordering—backed by an owned refrigerated delivery fleet that provides temperature-controlled last-mile distribution to professional kitchens and butcher shops. The firm employs 40+ people and is led by a three-person executive board (Manuel Boye, Ingbert Schürger, Uwe Gast) under the supervisory oversight of Josef Saemann as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The cooperative is not subject to public financial disclosure, so revenue, member count, and growth metrics are not reported externally. Surpluses are typically redistributed to members or reinvested rather than extracted by external shareholders. The strategic posture is regional and member-focused rather than nationally scaled: there is no public signal of geographic expansion beyond Unterfranken, and the product surface is anchored in traditional protein and equipment wholesale with no disclosed technology, data, or AI capability layer.
