The food industry in Niedersachsen generates more than 20 billion EUR in revenue and has over 100,000 employees which makes it the second largest industrial sector behind car manufacturing. Many producers of well-known brands – from Bahlsen to Wiesenhof – are headquartered in Niedersachsen. Internationally successful companies combine their long tradition in the production of high-quality foodstuffs with new production processes and perfected marketing strategies.

Niedersachsen is Germany’s No. 1 agricultural state and therefore has right here the best possible foundation for producing high-quality food on the basis of integrated value chains. The sector continues to develop. Solutions need to be found for new trends such as functional food, bio and convenience are expecting solutions as much as for the price-sensitive German market and the competition of global corporations.

In this high-tech business with very high product and process safety requirements the food companies in Niedersachsen are not left alone. Specialised research and training institutions, marketing organisations, competence centres and technology sites as well as cooperation models in the entire value chain are Niedersachsen’s instruments for concentrating the know-how which helps to generate a critical competitive advantage for market penetration.
