Paulig CEO Rolf Ladau:
“2025 was a year of significant growth for us. We have focused on expanding our food portfolio through acquisitions and innovations, and today, food represents more than 70% of our revenue. Paulig is a leading Tex Mex company in Europe, and next to it we have built a substantial business focused on World Foods, which we believe will continue to be a key growth driver also in the future.”
“Our operating environment continued to be shaped by volatility in green coffee prices, geopolitical instability and evolving regulatory landscape which impacted also consumer confidence. This challenging market environment required continuous adaptation across our operations as well as strong focus and execution.”
Over EUR 1 billion revenue in foods categories, reflecting long-term strategic focus on food
The growth in 2025 was primarily driven by the Branded business area, led by brands such as Santa Maria, Conimex and Paulig coffee.
Organic growth was supported by acquisitions. In 2025, Paulig completed the acquisition of the Conimex brand in the Netherlands and progressed the integration of UK-based Panesar Foods into its operations. These steps further strengthened Paulig’s position in World Foods and supported several new product launches during the year.
The Customer Brands business area, which includes private label and industry customers, represented 39% of revenue. Growth in the Customer Brands business area was slower than planned.
At the end of 2025, Paulig was debt free, further strengthening its balance sheet.
Building capacity and efficiency while advancing sustainability
During the year, Paulig began construction of a new tortilla line at its site in Spain and made further investments across its Tex Mex operations in Belgium, Sweden, the UK and Spain. Additional investments included upgrades in roasting, flavouring, snacking, and automation across several sites, supporting operational performance and scalability.
The business transformation program aiming at harmonizing processes, systems and data progressed as planned with several successful go-lives during 2025.
Alongside these investments, Paulig made progress on its sustainability agenda. The company achieved its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 38% compared to the 2018 baseline, and continued efforts to lower emissions in its value chain, including the transition to biofuel-based ocean freight for green coffee and spice shipments. Paulig’s climate targets were revalidated by the Science Based Targets initiative, in line with the 1.5°C pathway.
