Matcha, Yuzu, Ube and Pandan are finding their way into more drinks, snacks and protein products. But there is more behind this than a passing trend.

Consumers are becoming open to international flavours while looking for products that combine enjoyment with wellbeing and balance. Our subsidiary SternLife translates these changing preferences into viable concepts by bringing together expertise from R&D, Procurement, Sales and Business Development.

“Customers today expect more than a good formulation. They are looking for partners who understand market developments, identify opportunities early and develop successful concepts together.” - Hans-Christian Seidel, Business Development Manager at SternLife.

Because the key is not simply following a trend, but understanding the need behind it.

15 new YoungStars, four locations and one shared start: this August, we welcomed our new apprentices and dual students in Ahrensburg, Hamburg, Norderstedt and Wittenburg.

During Welcome Week, the focus was on arriving, connecting and discovering the diversity of our group. From getting to know teams and mentors to joint training sessions and pizza baking, the week offered plenty of opportunities to gain first insights and build connections across locations. A special highlight was the visit to our MehlWelten Museum, followed by tours through our production facilities SternMaid, providing a first-hand impression of the processes and expertise behind our daily work.

“Welcome Week gave me a great start to my dual studies! We had the chance to discover the different sides of our group and connect with lots of new people from day one.” - Livia, Dual Student at Berg+Schmidt Animal Nutrition.

We are delighted to welcome our new YoungStars and wish them a great start and many valuable experiences along the way. 🚀

Healthy-looking hair requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Today's brands are looking for ingredient solutions that deliver targeted performance, formulation flexibility, and scientifically proven benefits.
That's why Berg+Schmidt Care Ingredients has expanded its Hair Care portfolio with a science-driven approach inspired by proven skin care principles. Rather than focusing on superficial repair, our ingredients support hair protection, natural shine, smoothness, and the barrier function of both the hair fiber and the scalp.
Already incorporated into a range of formulation concepts, our latest innovations demonstrate how targeted ingredient solutions can help formulators create modern, high-performance hair care tailored to different hair types and consumer needs.
Let's shape the future of Hair Care together.

Last week our subsidiary Mühlenchemie hosted the 2026 Millers for Nutrition C-Level Convening at our FlourWorld Museum in Wittenburg. The meeting brought together strategic partners from industry, governments and development organisations to exchange experiences, review progress and strengthen a shared commitment: advancing food fortification and expanding access to essential micronutrients for people affected by hidden hunger.

Over the past three years, the Millers for Nutrition network has increased its production of fortified staple foods by 25 percent. Today, it produces more than 18 million tonnes annually, providing over 680 million people with access to fortified staple foods. These results show what becomes possible when partners across sectors work towards a common objective with expertise, commitment and a strong sense of shared responsibility.

As our CEO Torsten Wywiol emphasised during the meeting: “Just together, we can create sustainable, long-term impact. By working towards a shared goal, we are enabling more people around the world to access fortified staple foods.” The unique setting of the FlourWorld Museum, where the history and present of flour production meet, provided the perfect backdrop for discussions focused on the future of flour as a valuable staple food.

A sincere thank you to all partners and everyone involved in creating this inspiring environment for discussion, collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Together with the Millers for Nutrition initiative, our subsidiary Mühlenchemie hosted an evening event during the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, bringing together partners from across the public and private sectors to address one of the world’s most pressing challenges: hidden hunger, which affects more than 3 billion people worldwide.

Throughout the evening, one message stood out: tackling hidden hunger requires more than proven solutions – it requires strong partnerships and a shared commitment to action. The inspiring conversations and exchange of perspectives reinforced our belief that by working together, governments, industry and development organisations can create lasting impact. As our CEO Torsten Wywiol emphasised, sustainable progress is only possible when all stakeholders pursue a common goal.

Hamburg has always been a city of trade, openness and international cooperation, making it the perfect place to continue these important conversations. We thank all participants for the inspiring exchange and look forward to turning dialogue into action. 🍞🌍️

What started as an idea by our social media colleagues Julia and Wiebke has grown into SternVoices, our employee ambassador programme that empowers colleagues across our group to share their perspectives, experiences and expertise on LinkedIn. What began with a small group of participants has evolved into a network of colleagues from different brands and departments, including Sales, Product Management and R&D, offering authentic insights into their daily work.

One of our SternVoices Deborah Hartmaier said: “We want to show behind the scenes, share our motivation, experience and provide real value. Because strong relationships with our customers and business partners are built on exactly that. They trust us for our knowledge, the way we work together and the expertise and service across our entire group.”

Over time, this initiative has become an important part of our social media strategy, strengthening internal collaboration, opening doors to new markets, supporting talent attraction and fostering meaningful feedback and conversations with customers and business partners.
A huge thank you to all our SternVoices for the stories, perspectives and insights you continue to share every day.

Many digital transformation projects happen behind the scenes. They are shaped by workshops, testing, training sessions, decisions and countless hours of collaboration. However, our Stern4HANA project stepped into the spotlight: our colleagues Sven Dudzik, Director Digital Transformation and Jérôme Cron, Head of Digital Project Portfolio & Demand Management, attended the SAP Quality Awards 2026, where the project was awarded 2nd place in the category “Business Transformation - Cloud”. 🏆🤩

For Jérôme Cron the award is above all a recognition of the people behind the project: "Throughout the project, more than 100 colleagues contributed their expertise, commitment and determination. It is a shared success that reflects the quality and professionalism of everyone involved."

The SAP Quality Awards recognise projects that stand out through excellent planning, governance and implementation. Being recognised alongside renowned international companies highlights the strength of our approach and the dedication of our teams. This achievement demonstrates what is possible when colleagues work together across functions, take ownership and stay committed to a shared goal. We are proud of everyone who contributed to making this prolect a success. 👏

Among the thousands of runners around Hamburg’s HafenCity, our red shirts were easy to spot once again: 60 colleagues from across our group joined this year’s charity run. Some took on the route with sporting ambition, while others enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with colleagues along the way. With plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures and enthusiastic support along the course, the atmosphere could not have been better.

As Lisa Teoh, Sustainability Manager and organiser of our running team, shared: “What makes the HafenCity Run special is bringing together colleagues who rarely meet in their daily work. That creates a strong sense of team spirit.”

Looking back, our journey with this event began exactly for 20 years, when twelve colleagues represented us at the then HSH Nordbank Run. The route has changed and the event now carries a different name. What remains unchanged is the spirit behind it: being active together and contributing to a good cause.

And judging by the conversations and smiles after crossing the finish line, this certainly will not be our last HafenCity Run.

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming guests to the opening of the new exhibition “Danke für die Blumen” („Thank you for the flowers“). Ten artists explore the motif of flowers in very different ways – from hyperrealistic works and textile sculptures to abstract paintings and Junk Art. The result is a diverse and inspiring panorama of contemporary artistic approaches.

The evening was filled with inspiring conversations, new perspectives, and a shared appreciation for creativity and mastery. We would like to thank all guests and artists who made this vernissage such a special occasion.

Come by and experience the exhibition until 6 September. 🌟

Intensive technical discussions and strong customer interest: Bakery China 2026 once again highlighted how dynamic the industrial bakery market in Asia continues to be. Last week in Shanghai, our affiliate Stern Ingredients China welcomed visitors from across the industry and presented practical solutions tailored to current market demands.

Together, the teams showcased five key focus areas including Clean Label, Freeze Thaw, High Protein, Nutrient Fortification and Sourdough. One highlight was the successful launch of the Frozen-to-Fresh solution for Swiss Rolls – a joint project by our subsidiaries DeutscheBack and Hydrosol combining application expertise and market understanding.

The fair also created space for valuable customer discussions and close collaboration between local and global teams. As Penny Wang, Marketing Manager at Stern Ingredients China, shared: “Customers see us as solution providers and not just suppliers.”

Bakery China 2026 once again showed how global expertise and local market knowledge can work hand in hand to create practical solutions for customers worldwide.
