Raiffeisen Kraftfutterwerk Mittelweser Heide GmbH

What Raiffeisen Kraftfutterwerk Mittelweser Heide GmbH does

Raiffeisen Kraftfutterwerke Mittelweser Heide GmbH, operating under the trade name KFW Mittelweser, is a German private limited company (GmbH) that manufactures compound feed products for livestock farmers. The company operates three production facilities in Minden, Twistringen, and Schweringen, all located in Lower Saxony, Germany, and serves a regional customer base of dairy and beef cattle operations. It operates under the Raiffeisen agricultural cooperative brand and shares digital infrastructure references with agravis.de, indicating potential affiliation with the broader Agravis agricultural network, though no explicit parent-subsidiary relationship is disclosed.

The company's core offerings combine compound feed manufacturing with an integrated portfolio of livestock nutrition services. Its primary products are custom-formulated feed rations tailored to individual farm herds, supported by feed consulting services (Futterberatung Nutztiere), crop cultivation advisory for forage production (Anbauberatung Grundfutter), and analytical services including farm-owned feedstuff analysis, fattening performance evaluation (Mastauswertung), and milk control evaluation (Milchkontrollauswertung). Quality is managed through a certified quality management system, with certificates hosted via the agravis.de domain and supported by in-house controlling and quality management specialists.

KFW Mittelweser's business model is a direct farm supply operation with no publicly disclosed pricing; customers obtain quotes via phone contacts listed at each plant. Products and advisory services are delivered through the company's own sales and consulting staff, with the marketing function effectively limited to its corporate website. No digital channels, social media presence, or public marketing activities are identified in the available source data, consistent with a traditional B2B regional agricultural supplier model.
