Business area Eisberg

The business area Eisberg expanded its range of to-go convenience products, in particular in the segment of salad meals and cut fruit, in order to meet the increasing demands on health, individual lifestyle and convenience. Bowls, shakes and fresh-cut fruit are the biggest growth drivers.

The situation for raw materials was made very challenging by floods and heavy rains in Spain in the first half of the year and extreme temperatures and periods of high rainfall in summer. Eisbergʼs strong network was a great help in guaranteeing delivery readiness at all times.

Given the limited potential for growth in the Eastern European region, Eisberg will in future focus on the DACH market. The sale of the companies in Hungary, Romania and Poland was finalised in the second half of 2025. On an annualised basis, these units earned net revenue of around CHF 80 million. The sale generated a one-time profit of CHF 11.3 million at EBIT level or CHF 7.1 million at the corporate profit level. The business areaʼs organisational structure was adapted to this new strategic focus and was geared more strongly to the cultivation of the DACH market. The current CFO Tobias Wölfle also took over as CEO from Mike Häfeli on 1 June 2025.

In view of the unsatisfactory earnings trend, the operating concept for the facility in Marchtrenk (AT) was being overhauled in an effort to sustainably boost profitability. Eisberg Austria will in future focus on a more efficient core assortment that is optimally geared to the market. In line with this focus, parts of the infrastructure and specific plants will no longer be needed. With these measures, Eisberg is strengthening its competitive capacity and creating the conditions for improving the locationʼs profitability.
