Munich / Münner­stadt — “We spice the future” — under this motto, the spice specia­list Vision Food GmbH, Münner­stadt, has been on the road to success for years. A dormant equity holding (mezza­nine) by BayBG Baye­ri­sche Betei­li­gungs­ge­sell­schaft enables further invest­ments and streng­thens working capi­tal. This means that the company, which was foun­ded in 2005, remains on a growth path.

The Lower Fran­co­nian company supplies, grinds and blends high-quality spices, extra­cts or vanilla for its custo­mers throug­hout Europe. Howe­ver, Vision Food does not limit itself to pure retail­ing, but clearly stands out from the compe­ti­tion with its “custo­mi­zing”. Vision Food thus offers not only “stan­dar­di­zed” spices and blends, but also products precis­ely tail­o­red to custo­mers’ requi­re­ments, for exam­ple in terms of oil or pipe­rine content in pepper. “With this and its many years of expe­ri­ence, Vision Food has a strong posi­tion with its custo­mers, which include the meat proces­sing indus­try or manu­fac­tu­r­ers of spice blends for the retail trade,” says Martin Kunze, invest­ment mana­ger at BayBG, describ­ing the company. “We see great poten­tial in the company, the market and the product,” adds Alois Bösl, who is respon­si­ble for BayBG’s busi­ness acti­vi­ties throug­hout nort­hern Bava­ria: “Cooking and ever­y­thing to do with it has and is gaining further cult charac­ter. This means that high-quality spices, for which Vision Food stands, are also incre­asingly in demand.”

Uwe Scher­baum, owner and mana­ging direc­tor of Vision Food, is also satis­fied: “With BayBG, we have gained a renow­ned part­ner that is very well ancho­red in the dome­stic SME sector and will support us in the long term. This puts us in a good posi­tion. The addi­tio­nal capi­tal will enable us to conti­nue our growth stra­tegy with balan­ced financing.”
