The agreement with the founders, Anne and Stefan Lemcke, is based on a common understanding of Ankerkraut\u2019s future needs and positioning. In view of the changed market situation, both sides are convinced that this decision gives the brand additional entrepreneurial leeway to drive the future development of the company even more flexibly and quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cooperation has always been constructive, trusting and characterized by common goals. In this sense, we support the founders\u2019 desire for greater entrepreneurial independence,\u201d says Alexander von Maillot, CEO of Nestl\u00e9 Germany. The decision is in line with Nestl\u00e9\u2019s ongoing strategic transformation and brand focus, which aims to further sharpen and align the portfolio more clearly.<\/p>\n<p><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comunicaffe.com\/linkout\/177497\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"notrack\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Julius_Meinl_JRE_550x90px_MOTION\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Julius_Meinl_JRE_550x90px_MOTION-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"90\" style=\"opacity: 1 !important;\"\/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnkerkraut is more than a company for us \u2013 it is our life\u2019s work,\u201d say Anne and Stefan Lemcke. \u201cWe have learned a lot in recent years and would like to thank Nestl\u00e9 for the constructive cooperation.
