Grainli® GmbH & Co. KG expands its product portfolio to include raw materials for pet food and appoints Guido Sandberg as Head of Pet Food Ingredients

Grainli® GmbH & Co. KG, a global supplier of brewing and food raw materials, announces that it will expand its range to include raw materials for pet food from 2024. This strategic decision represents an important step in the company’s development and will allow Grainli® to diversify its product offering and enter new markets. To support this new direction, Grainli® has hired Guido Sandberg as a pet food expert. Guido Sandberg, a business economist with many years of experience in trading feed raw materials, will enrich the company with his knowledge and skills in the areas of international trade, quality management and logistics planning. His specialisation in purely plant-based raw materials and his commitment to first-class quality make him a valuable addition to the team.

‘We have already been active for some time with our range of raw materials for pet food. We are pleased to take the strategy even further with Guido Sandberg and are convinced that Guido’s expertise will contribute significantly to the success of this new business area,’ says Andries de Groen, Managing Director of Grainli®. ‘The demand for high-quality plant-based feed is growing steadily and we are committed to offering our customers innovative and sustainable solutions.’

As part of this realignment, Grainli® will also be represented at industry trade fairs such as Interzoo in Nuremberg in 2024 to present the expanded product portfolio and expand its network in the industry.

About Grainli® GmbH & Co. KG Grainli® GmbH & Co. KG in Hamburg has been a global supplier of brewing and food raw materials since 2008. Formerly known as a pure brewing grain trader under the name Evergrain, the company expanded its product portfolio in 2022 under the new name Grainli® to include vegetable proteins and other food ingredients and plans to further expand the range. Since 2016, BayWa AG has been providing tailwind for growth in new markets as a wholly-owned shareholder.

In April 2022, we were able to launch our first Grainli® After Work. After a long period of only being able to keep in touch with our business partners and friends of Grainli® online, it was time to finally organise physical meetings again.

With the ‘Grainli® Get together’, we bring together various partners and people from the agricultural sector in Hamburg to exchange ideas, switch off or simply enjoy a cool drink after work. We have received consistently good feedback and are delighted to be able to organise these meetings in person again.

The previous meetings took place at the pubs of ‘The Baby Goat’. A great team with a very good concept, who always give us wonderful evenings.

Our event in September 2023 was a great highlight, because with almost 60 participants, we broke our previous record and our Barbarossa I am Beer cocktails were also very well received. Our Gose and Imperial Stout were skilfully transformed into the ‘I am Berry’ and the ‘White Barbarossa’! If you would like to try our Barbarossa I am Beer, The Baby Goat is the right place for you, otherwise B2B customers can also try it at Ankorstore.

In future, we want to try out other Hamburg pubs, restaurants and bars at least once a year to show our partners Hamburg’s diverse beer scene and discover new great locations. Hamburg has a lot to offer here and is constantly evolving. We are already planning our eighth After Work in November and are looking forward to a cosy start to the pre-Christmas season. Cheers!
