Our story —
We are growing in the second generation

Mählmann Gemüsebau has been around for over four decades — we started out as a small family business in the heart of Oldenburg's Münsterland. With passion and hard work, we have grown steadily and are now one of Germany's leading vegetable farmers. With a variety of over 30 vegetable crops, we serve our customers in Germany and Europe with freshly harvested crops every day from April to November. In doing so, we have remained true to our values such as quality, freshness and sustainability.

Cultivation with passion — Top quality harvest

Our proximity to the North Sea creates a maritime climate, there is a constant light breeze and the fields are flat. Ideal conditions for growing vegetables of very special quality: product-specific cultivation in the ideal soil, balanced fertilization and care by our own agricultural scientists, scientific soil analyses and finally strict quality control of all products guarantee the best results. We attach great importance to careful harvesting, whether by machine or by hand, so that we can always offer fresh and high-quality products.

Processing with dedication — Perfect production

After harvesting, our vegetables go through strict quality control, during which they are checked for freshness and quality. It is thoroughly cleaned in modern washing facilities and then packaged according to customer requirements. Our quality assurance department closely monitors every step so that only flawless products leave our factory. In this way, we guarantee a consistently high level of freshness and quality.

Vegetable partnership — Marketing in strong hands

As a member of the ELO cooperative (Erzeugergrossmarkt Langförden-Oldenburg eG), all our goods are marketed here in confidence. Our field-fresh products are vacuum cooled here and delivered flexibly to our customers in Germany and Europe on a daily basis via in-house transport logistics.

Seasonal work, which is worthwhile

First-class products are created by first-class employees. Every year, we are supported by numerous dedicated seasonal workers who ensure a smooth process.

In order to consolidate and further expand this, we will also drive forward developments here in the future and invest steadily.

Digitalizzazione — Le verdure diventano digitali

La digitalizzazione è essenziale nel nostro settore per rendere i processi più efficienti e sostenibili. Con l'aiuto delle innovazioni tecniche, la coltivazione e la raccolta possono essere pianificate e controllate in modo più preciso, il che consente un uso ottimale di risorse come acqua e sostanze nutritive. I sistemi automatizzati garantiscono inoltre una lavorazione regolare, che consente di risparmiare tempo e garantisce la qualità dei prodotti. Di conseguenza, rimaniamo competitivi e allo stesso tempo agiamo in modo rispettoso dell'ambiente.
