Key Milestones and Growth Highlights of 2025
GFT Group Europe closed 2025 with a series of strategic milestones, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in bringing global flavours closer to customers across Europe.
A key highlight of the year was the relocation of the company’s headquarters from Biebesheim am Rhein to Riedstadt-Wolfskehlen. The new facility, featuring a modern infrastructure and a 40,000 sqm warehouse, significantly enhances GFT’s operational capabilities and scalability, laying a strong foundation for future growth.
Continuing its expansion journey, GFT broadened its European footprint with a stronger presence in Portugal and Berlin. These developments mark an important step in deepening market access and strengthening the company’s ability to connect cultures, cuisines, and communities across regions.
In line with its mission of being a true gateway to global taste, GFT also successfully relaunched the Heer Rice range. Supported by multiple store activations and targeted sampling activities, the relaunch brought the brand closer to consumers and retail partners, driving both visibility and engagement at the point of sale.
The company’s growth trajectory in 2025 reflects its focused execution and commitment to excellence:
- Serving over 8,000 customers across Europe
- Managing a diverse portfolio of more than 3,500 SKUs
- Achieving a strong 35% increase in value growth
These milestones highlight GFT’s continued evolution, not just as a distributor, but as a platform that enables the seamless exchange of global tastes.
As GFT moves into 2026, the company remains committed to strengthening its operational backbone, expanding its reach, and continuing to open new doors to global taste for its customers and partners.
