Kölln – Innovation born of tradition

Ever since its foundation in 1820, Kölln has been a strong, independent family company that holds to its own principles without being influenced by external shareholders. Today, it is still run by family members who have continued to follow the same recipe for success, even after the business was reorganised into a commercial partnership limited by shares (Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien or KGaA). Kölln KGaA is one of the food industry’s leading brand manufacturers.

It all started with oats and milling. From those humble beginnings, the company has developed a tradition of creating, developing and marketing high-quality oat products that dates back almost 200 years. Kölln continues to retain pole position on the breakfast cereals market.

With its innovative products, Kölln has been able to provide consumers with the taste and quality they are looking for time and time again. These features were also extremely important when it came to expanding the company's product range and in terms of its plans to gain a foothold in the high-quality edible oils and fats market.

In 2004 the company acquired Pomps^® Kindergrieß and Edelweiss^® Milchzucker, not to mention the well-known Livio^®, Biskin^®, Palmin^® and Becht´s^® Speiseöl brands.

All these brands sit very well with the principles of quality, health, safety and innovation that Kölln has held to since its inception, and thus integrate perfectly with the existing product range.

Kölln KGaA is a reliable provider of high-quality foods and will continue to deliver innovation based on tradition long into the future.
