The generational change at spirits manufacturer Waldemar Behn GmbH and beverage wholesaler Behn Getränke GmbH was officially completed at the beginning of the year. Rüdiger Behn handed over the reins to his niece Lisa Behn and his son Asmus Behn, who will jointly take on management tasks in the family business in future.
With this generational change, the owner-managed BEHN family, which is active on the market as a spirits manufacturer and beverage wholesaler, is positioning itself for the future. The succession builds on a family tradition that has grown over decades and has been shaped by Waldemar Behn († March 2023) and Rüdiger Behn in the fourth generation.
Lisa and Asmus Behn take on management responsibility in both companies and shape the further development together with the managing directors Philipp Fellmann (Waldemar Behn GmbH) and Jens Kundrun (Behn Getränke GmbH). The division of responsibilities is clearly defined: Lisa Behn is responsible, among other things, for sales at Behn Getränke GmbH and for human resources across the company. Asmus Behn is responsible for the technical operations of Waldemar Behn GmbH and finance across the company.
"I grew up with the company and the people behind it - and it is precisely this togetherness that I see as the core of our Behn team," says Lisa Behn. "We get stuck in, make clear decisions and are close to our customers. The fact that we closely interlink production, brands and beverage wholesalers is our foundation. We will continue to build on this: with modern sales, a clear customer focus and a strong team in both companies."
Asmus Behn adds: "For me, the focus is on ensuring that our quality remains just as reliable as we are known for. To achieve this, we make targeted investments in technology, in smart processes and in the people who produce here with passion."
Rüdiger Behn will continue to support Lisa and Asmus Behn in an advisory capacity and has also completed his transition in a very practical way: his office in Eckernförde has now been vacated, making way for the next generation.
