How we are

In a time of eco­no­mic recon­s­truc­tion in Ger­ma­ny, Karl Berg­mann estab­lishes a trade in coun­try products.

Hel­mut Berg­mann, Karl’s son, takes over the com­pa­ny. The com­pa­ny now trades under the name Karl Berg­mann Sohn. At the begin­ning to the end of the 60s, important steps are taken to beco­me a modern agri­cul­tu­ral tra­ding com­pa­ny: New con­s­truc­tion and later expan­si­on of a warehouse at the later headquarters.

This was fol­lo­wed by the move to the new com­pa­ny buil­ding with a spe­cia­list gar­den store, as well as the start-up of 3 bran­ches in the dis­trict of Alzen­au and Aschaf­fen­burg. The 60s are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by the rapid deve­lo­p­ment of lar­ge-sca­le fat­tening plants and their sup­p­ly with feed.

A new line of busi­ness, the who­le­sa­le of fruit and vege­ta­bles, estab­lishes its­elf as a third mainstay.

The com­pa­ny Karl Berg­mann Sohn beco­mes the first “green depart­ment store” in Bava­ria. From then on, the name “DAS GRÜ­NE WAREN­HAUS” gains importance and beco­mes a syn­onym for trade around gar­den and agriculture.

the com­pa­ny is trans­for­med into a limi­t­ed lia­bi­li­ty com­pa­ny (GmbH). After the Ger­man reuni­fi­ca­ti­on, the agri­cul­tu­ral trade is also expan­ded to the new fede­ral sta­tes, thus for­cing the supra-regio­nal grain trade.

The first sales of grain from orga­nic pro­duc­tion have alre­a­dy followed.

For the first time, grain is traded throug­hout Europe

Klaus Berg­mann takes over the manage­ment in the third gene­ra­ti­on. In the same year, the qua­li­ty manage­ment GMP (Good Manu­fac­tu­ring Prac­ti­ce) is implemented.

The com­pa­ny beco­mes a cer­ti­fied and reco­gni­zed Bio Suis­se Trader.

Takes place the instal­la­ti­on of a 29.9KWp solar power sys­tem. At the same time, a 9.45KWp sys­tem is instal­led in the office buil­ding. EDP-sup­port­ed batch manage­ment is introduced.
