Who we are

A quality leader in the industry

In over 115 years, we have developed a profound sense for customer needs and established ourselves as a quality leader. With our brands Meßmer, MILFORD, OnnO Behrends, and Yasashi, we occupy a leading position in the German and European tea markets and follow our motto: We see more in tea.

Rooted in the North

With Europe’s third-largest harbour, Hamburg is the European tea trade’s most important hub and a leading transhipment point worldwide. Our company headquarters in Seevetal offer significant logistical advantages and are simultaneously an optimal, inspiring location for tea creation thanks to its proximity to our roots in the East Frisian town of Leer.
