Lebensmittel Becker – a success story
We are a family-run company with a deep-rooted tradition. At the same time, however, we are a dynamic medium-sized company with its eyes set firmly on the future. The company is currently run by the third generation of the Becker family. The tasks of co-managing director and business management graduate Sabine Becker include the strategic orientation of the company and trend scouting in the food sector.

Year of foundation
On 25 October 1935, Ernst Becker founds his coffee-roasting and food and fish wholesale company in Griesheim near Darmstadt. With the help of his wife Auguste, he steadily expands the business. Ernst Becker is one of the first to offer free delivery to small shops – done at the time with a horse and cart.
