About Freche Freunde

Key Products and Services

Freche Freunde, founded in 2010, is a company that specializes in the development and marketing of healthy, organic-certified snacks and beverages for children. The product portfolio includes a variety of innovative items, such as fruit and vegetable puree in squeeze pouches (Quetschies), cookies with fruit-derived sugar, and crispy flips made from organic corn without salt. These products are free from additives and added sugar, making them an attractive option for parental concerns about healthy nutrition for children[2][4].

Main Mission and Values

edit

The mission of Freche Freunde is to instill an early friendship with fruits and vegetables in children. The company aims to bring children closer to fruits and vegetables through fun and healthy products as well as innovative communication. The founders, Natacha and Alex Neumann, were originally motivated by the search for healthy snacks for their own children and have since developed a wide range of products that meet these needs[3][4].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

edit

Freche Freunde places great importance on sustainability and responsible action. The products are organic-certified and free from harmful additives, which not only serves the health of children but also promotes environmentally friendly practices. The company is also working to strengthen its presence in the markets through sustainable marketing strategies and close collaboration with partners such as the Hero Group to leverage synergies in the product portfolio and supply chain[2][4].

Current Developments and Partnerships

edit

In 2018, the Hero Group, an international food corporation, acquired a majority stake in Freche Freunde. This partnership allows the company to benefit from the resources and expertise of the Hero Group to continue growing and establishing its products in new markets. Despite this change, the founders Natacha and Alex Neumann remain on board as managing directors, and the operational business remains largely unchanged[2].

Growth and Expansion

edit

Freche Freunde has experienced significant growth since its founding. The company increased its revenues from 0.5 million euros in 2013 to 10.5 million euros in 2015 and expanded its workforce from one to 15 employees. Additionally, it has expanded its product portfolio from 8 to 34 products. These successes have allowed crowd investors to participate in the company's achievements through profit-dependent bonus interest[3].

Freche Freunde remains committed to pursuing its mission through innovative products, sustainable practices, and a strong brand identity, continuing to play a leading role in the field of healthy children's nutrition.
