FOOD & BEVERAGES, DRINKS

Germany is the country in the European Union with the most employees in the food and beverage industry. Almost as many people are employed here as in the most important sector in Germany - the automotive industry.

Every consumer is familiar with a few large companies, and the corresponding brands cannot be overlooked in the shops. However, it should not be forgotten that there are almost 6,000 companies (with 30 or more employees) in the sector. The top 10 account for just 15% of the industry's total turnover. Sectors such as the meat and bakery industry are undergoing structural change.

There is a great need for specialists and managers in the food and luxury food industry. More than 1,000 such positions are permanently advertised on the leading German online job portal - including almost 200 managers, 200 sales staff and 200 technical positions.

Competition for good specialists and managers is fierce. As a recruitment consultancy with a wealth of experience in the food and luxury food sector, we can offer exactly the support your company needs in this situation.

Hardly any other market is as heterogeneous and complex as the beverage industry in Germany, and hardly any other market is still so strongly characterized by medium-sized structures and family businesses, both in the industry and in the specialist beverage trade.

The number of breweries in Germany alone is almost 1,400 with a total of over 5,000 beer brands, and there are more than 200 specialist beverage retail companies in the over 10 million turnover category alone. The beverage industry still has a very strong regional character, and companies must operate regionally but still be able to keep up with national and international trends and developments in order to remain competitive.

This also poses a special and specific challenge for the search for qualified specialists and managers. With our Beverage Competence Center, we have in-depth experience and expertise in the entire beverage sector and its specific conditions and structures.
