What ReformKontor GmbH & Co. KG does

ReformKontor GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German organic food processor and trader headquartered in Zarrentin am Schaalsee, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The company specializes in organic dried fruits, freeze-dried fruits, soft fruits, nut kernels, rice, legumes, cereals, breakfast products, coconut milk, seeds, snacks, and sweeteners, sourcing over 100 raw materials from international growing regions. It operates a 14-person organization (including 11 current apprentices) and serves two primary customer segments: the German Reformhaus health food retail chain via direct supply, and food production companies via contract manufacturing. The company also offers a full-service private label program spanning product concept development, raw material selection, formula development, production, and packaging across multiple formats including Doypack and stand-up pouches.

The firm's core processing capabilities include CO2 pressure fumigation (Druckentwesung) for pest control of organic raw materials, executed via two autoclaves, with a CO2 recovery retrofit co-funded under the EU EFRE Program 2021–2027 that enables reuse of CO2 across multiple cycles. ReformKontor also operates a proprietary organic soft-fruit rehydration process — a category it claims to have pioneered in Germany in 1999 — and maintains a 250-panel on-site photovoltaic system generating 213 MWh annually (covering roughly one-third of electricity needs) since 2011, plus an electric/hybrid vehicle fleet that displaces an estimated 45 tons of CO2 per year. Quality is governed by three layered certifications: EU Organic Production Regulation, IFS Food Version 8 (GFSI-recognized), and Naturland.

Commercially, ReformKontor runs a B2B enterprise sales motion with no public pricing, distributing through direct sales relationships with named department heads in Sales, Purchasing, and Private Label, supported by a German/English website, social media presence, and prominent certification/award display. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has no recorded funding rounds, M&A activity, or external institutional ownership, and is structured as a GmbH & Co. KG with ReformKontor Verwaltungs GmbH as managing general partner. Strategic emphasis appears to be on sustainability credentials, organic certification depth, and contract-manufacturing capability as levers to deepen existing accounts rather than to enter new geographies or consumer channels.
