L.W.C. Michelsen – delicatessen with attitude since 1814
We are one of the oldest delicatessens in Germany: founded in Hamburg in 1814, former purveyor to the imperial court, now family-run in the seventh generation. The focus is on our own brand Michelsen – with products from the areas of honey, jams, jellies, tea candies, cookies, vinegar & oils, relish & chutneys, liqueurs and other delicatessen specialties. Products with history, character and genuine recognition value.</p
The portfolio is complemented by three exclusive British brands, which we distribute exclusively for Germany and Austria: – Wilkin & Sons / Tiptree – the UK’s best-known jam brand – REIDS – Baked in the north of Scotland since 1966. Prized by the Royal Family. – Windsor Castle Tea – classic British tea brand
For the Austrian market, we are looking for an experienced retail agency that can place this range with conviction in specialist retailers, delicatessens, hotels and restaurants. The brands are still largely unoccupied in Austria – a real development opportunity with a strong tailwind from Hamburg.
What we are looking for: – Existing network in Austrian specialist retail, delicatessen or gastronomy – Experience in the food sales force – Reliability and passion for the product
What we offer: – Attractive commission on sales – Personal cooperation with the management – Full introduction to the range and brands – A company with 210 years of history – and a clear growth trajectory
