Around 40 percent of sales in the delicatessen salads segment come from the branded business and 60 percent is achieved with discounters and gastronomy. For bulk consumers, Homann delivers its products in bulk packs to customers in the catering, hotel and canteen sectors ; the group also operates its own shipping company EMHaGe , an abbreviation for registered margarine trading company , warehousing, logistics and transport.
Homann products are also sold under other names such as Ofterdinger , Voss or the Gloria brand .
history
In 1876 Fritz Homann founded a meat and sausage factory in Dissen in the Teutoburg Forest and in 1882 also began to produce margarine . The expansion in the production of margarine led to the discontinuation of the production and sale of meat and sausage products in 1896.
In 1924, Homann opened its own fat refinery in Dissen, which enabled the factory to later produce the branded margarine "Homa Gold" . Sales to customers took place with own trucks in traffic . For this purpose, two transport permits including trucks were purchased and on April 13, 1954, EMHaGe was entered in the commercial register as a separate forwarding agent in the factory.
The range was expanded by Homann in 1956 to include delicatessen salads, fish delicacies, tartar sauce , dressings and seasoned sauces . In 1961 the first own delicatessen factory opened in Dissen, which in 1993, after being taken over by Unilever in 1991, was expanded into one of the most modern salad factories in Europe. In 1998 Unilever sold Homann to Gilde Investment . In 2007 Heiner Kamps bought the company through its International Food Retail Capital (IFRC) from the British Henderson Europe Partners , which Homann had taken over in 2004, for 180 million euros. The operative business was operated by HK Food GmbH , in which the Theo Müller group owns 80 percent of the shares.
The brands “ Hamker ” (2008), “ Nadler ” and “Lisner” (2009) as well as “Weser Feinkost” and “Rügen Feinkost” (2010) also came to Homann through takeovers . The works of the acquired companies were z. T. closed immediately.
In 2009, Homann acquired the license for the “Livio” brand for the ketchup , mayonnaise and dressings product groups , while the “Livio” brand for edible oils remained with Peter Kölln .
At the end of June 2017, the Supervisory Board of the Theo Müller Group decided to give up the headquarters in Dissen by 2020 and instead rebuild it in Leppersdorf, Saxony . In Bad Essen, Bottrop and Floh-Seligenthal, plans were also made to close the plants as soon as the new building went into operation. 1,550 employees were affected, 1,000 of them in Dissen. 800 new jobs should be created in Leppersdorf. The works council was disappointed, also because an alternative concept shows that a new building at the headquarters costs approx. 100 million euros less and called for the fastest possible creation of a social plan for the employees. A social plan was drawn up in September 2017. Employees at Homann assumed that many employees would leave the company before 2020. On April 27, 2018, the Müller Group announced that it would continue production at the existing locations in Dissen, Bad Essen, Bottrop and Floh-Seligenthal in Thuringia.
At the end of July 2019, the fish delicatessen plant in Sassnitz , which Homann acquired through the takeover of Rügen Feinkost, was closed due to insufficient expansion options, and production was relocated to Poznań.
