Gütersloh, Germany. The Mestemacher plant bakery, which has its headquarters in Gütersloh, will celebrate its 150-year anniversary this year. On the occasion of the anniversary, Chamber of Commerce and Industry managing director, Petra Pigerl-Radtke, congratulated the shareholding couples, Albert and Prof. Dr. Ulrike Detmers and Fritz and Helma Detmers and presented them with an honorary certificate.
Wilhelm Mestemacher founded the bakery of the same name in Gütersloh 150 years earlier. Today, what used to be a town bakery has developed into a plant bakery that is the global market leader for fresh, wholemeal products with a long shelf life when stored unopened.
“Even in a region such as East Westphalia, which has a tradition of successful family businesses, not so many companies can look back on such a long and successful corporate history. This suggests that Mestemacher has always been managed with foresight and the right instincts. This is certainly also due to you, dear Detmers family,” Petra Pigerl-Radtke, managing director of the East Westphalia Chamber of Industry and Commerce, stated at a small celebration hosted at the company.

Welcome, Mrs. Petra Pigerl-Radtke, East Westphalia Chamber of Industry and Commerce managing director, to present the certificate of honor for the 150th anniversary of the Mestemacher GmbH.
In her speech Mrs. Pigerl-Radtke praised the innovative strength and regional ties of the shareholding couples Albert and Prof. Dr. Ulrike Detmers and Fritz and Helma Detmers. In the team with the group management, Mestemacher is optimistic about the future.
In her speech Mrs. Pigerl-Radtke also praised Mestemacher’s special social commitment. Promoting the next generation of specialists and managers was already important to the founding couple of Mestemacher Sophie and Wilhelm Mestemacher at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The managing director took this as an opportunity to pay tribute to Mestemacher’s current training and personnel development. Mestemacher was honored for outstanding training achievements on the occasion of the award ceremony for the final exam in summer 2018.
After the beautiful speech, Mestemacher served creamy asparagus soup and delicious finger food with WESTPHALIAN Pumpernickel – from Mestemacher, of course.
The participants in the small ceremony were tested negative for Corona beforehand and were therefore able to enjoy the good atmosphere.
