For agribusiness and consumers: We operate worldwide from our sites in Hamburg, Rostock, Erfurt and Wurzen. Our main focus is on the production of rapeseed oil, malt and food products for the industry and consumers. Furthermore, we trade and ship rapeseed and grain. Thereby, more than 370 employees are generating annual sales of over 1 billion euros and handle around 3 million metric tons each year.
We are environmentally conscious by conviction: As a company that comes from an agricultural background, we have been assuming responsibility for our environment for generations. We are constantly striving to produce in a sustainable, clean, resource-saving and energy-efficient manner. We succeed in doing this a little better every day by constantly investing in modern facilities and new technologies. With the help of innovative solutions, we are reducing CO2 emissions – for a future worth living for generations to come.
We live out our social responsibility every day: We are aware of our social responsibility. By means of donations, we support social institutions, associations and worldwide development projects. For the education of young people, we engage in cooperations with universities, technical colleges and foundations.

Down-to-earth and agile. Founded in 1921 by Peter Kruse, the roots of GETREIDE AG lie in Kappeln (Schleswig-Holstein). With the takeover in 1982 by Peter Rothe and the merger with the land trading company Chr. Sieck, the company grew in Schleswig-Holstein and in the new federal states. With the sale of the land trading activities in 2015, the corporation reorganized itself around its production activities and, at the same time, relocated the headquarters from Rendsburg to the port of Hamburg.
