Brewers’ yeast specialists Leiber GmbH look to expand further

Brewers' yeast is a valuable raw material: Leiber GmbH in Bramsche refines it for applications in food production, animal feed production, the health sector and the biotechnology sector. 

County commisioner Michael Lübbersmann and Siegfried Averhage, head of the Business & Economics Department of the district of Osnabrück, were able to get an idea of the production processes of yeast specialty products at the brewer's yeast extraction plant in Bramsche-Engter.

Managing Director Michael von Laer and Chairman of the Board of Directors Bernd Schmidt-Ankum made it clear that the family-owned company wanted to continue to expand, but also increasingly saw challenges in terms of skilled worker acquisition.

In Bramsche, Leiber produces at two locations: The main plant on the Mittellandkanal is home to the animal nutrition area, the research and development laboratories and parts of the administration. Yeast extracts were produced, further refined and dried into powders using state-of-the-art technology. Connected to the spray tower is a semi-automatic high-bay warehouse with around 4,000 pallet spaces. Other locations are managed by the family-run company in Poland and Russia.

At all four locations a total of about 250 employees are employed, described by Mr von Laer. "As for everyone, it is increasingly difficult for us to recruit skilled workers," says the managing director. "Qualified professional training is a priority at Leiber - it is important to us to offer young people good prospects".
