history
Johann Bünting (1782-1853), who came from a farming family near Edewecht in the Ammerland district , opened a small grocery store for tea, coffee, tobacco and spices in 1806 at 37 Leeraner Brunnenstrasse. On January 1, 1816, Johann Bünting and his 24-year-old brother-in-law Weert Klopp (1791–1833, father of the historian Onno Klopp ), who came from a long- established Leer family, founded J. Bünting & Co. Bünting kept a sixth of the shares . The focus of the business was tea import, tobacco production and coffee roasting.
After the death of Johann Bünting in 1853, the death of his wife Eta in 1868 and the departure of the last Bünting son Hermann from the company in 1872, the members of the Klopp family continued to manage the company alone until the formation of the stock corporation in 1989. In the In the 1960s, the company merged with other wholesalers of the same kind to form “A&O” (now “ Markant ”) and sold to A&O retailers.
The Bünting Group took over the electronics goods trading company Telepoint , which is active in northwest Germany, on February 1, 2007 and thus entered this market segment for the first time. The Bünting shares are exclusively family-owned, meaning that the company is now in the fifth generation of the family.
