Hansa-Heemann, based in Rellingen just outside Hamburg, considers itself one of the leading suppliers of mineral water and soft drinks in Germany. The company says it employs around 800 people and in 2020 produced around 1.7 billion bottles at its sites in Aumühle and Trappenkamp (Schleswig-Holstein), Kloster Lehnin (Brandenburg), Löhne (North Rhine-Westphalia) and Bruchsal (Baden-Württemberg). The annual turnover is stated at 300 million euros. In addition to its own brands, Hansa-Heemann is also heavily involved in contract filling, for example for Aldi.
The Refresco Group, based in Rotterdam, considers itself the world's largest independent bottler of beverages for the retail trade and reportedly has annual sales of four billion euros.
"Refresco Germany and Hansa-Heemann complement each other perfectly and through this acquisition we will be able to offer a nationwide supply to the German retail sector," said Refresco CEO Hans Roelofs
