Olmuhle Moog Gmbh

What Olmuhle Moog Gmbh does

Olmühle Moog GmbH, operating under the consumer brand BIO PLANÈTE, is a privately held German organic oil mill founded in 1984 and headquartered in Lommatzsch, Saxony. The company produces and markets more than 70 cold-pressed organic oils derived from seeds, fruits, nuts, and kernels, alongside organic vinegars, oil blends, and oil-based wellness products (e.g., Fresh Ölziehmixtur). It is positioned as the market leader in the German Bio-Fachhandel (organic specialty retail) channel. Its product portfolio is organized into seven sub-brands — Classic Öle, Gourmet Öle, Vital Öle, Ölkompositionen, Würzöle, Omega Leinölmixturen, Schwarzkümmelöle, plus Kokosöle and Essige — and includes award-winning lines such as Leinöl nativ (with proprietary 3D filtration) and Back & Bratöl mit Ghee.

The company's core technology is gentle cold pressing (Kaltpressung) for all oils, combined with a proprietary 3D filtration process developed for flaxseed oil that uses the three-dimensional structure of small protein components to remove bitterness and produce a mild, nutty taste. Each oil passes through up to 18 quality checks; the operation is certified under DE-ÖKO-006, FR-BIO-01, and IFS Food at the highest level, with full field-to-bottle traceability. Differentiated inputs are secured through long-term direct farmer partnerships — a 20-year relationship with Farmer Sabornido in the Philippines for coconut, hand-harvested sesame from Uganda, and cold-pressed infused olive oils from a Portuguese partner mill. In 2023 BIO PLANÈTE became the first oil mill to adopt a reusable glass bottle (Mehrweg) system in partnership with the dotch GmbH-led 25-brand alliance, saving an estimated 290 tonnes of CO2 per year.

BIO PLANÈTE runs a multi-channel go-to-market: the German Bio-Fachhandel retail network is the primary channel and the basis of its market leadership, supplemented by an owned D2C e-commerce storefront (shop.bioplanete.de), a dedicated B2B Händlerbereich partner portal, and direct farmer-sourcing relationships. Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales of premium oils priced at roughly €6.49–€79.90 per liter, plus gift sets and bundles. The target customer base spans health-conscious consumers, gourmet and specialty cooking enthusiasts, vegan/vegetarian/raw-food buyers (served via Vital Öle and Omega Leinölmixturen), and families seeking organic nutrition for children and during pregnancy. The company is family-owned under founder Judith Moog, has no disclosed external investors or parent company, and operates as a profitable Mittelstand business within Europe.
