We see ourselves as a full-range supplier in the premium segment and take pride in our position as a provider of the highest-quality products. To ensure products of premium quality, all workflows and processes are precisely aligned with one another. Together with our partners, we consistently implement high quality standards, supported by a wide range of quality assurance measures such as tastings, regular on-site inspections, and continuous controls along the entire value chain—from product development to delivery. Our quality management ensures that only the finest products reach our customers.

»Certification is our promise of quality – a guarantee of first-class goods.«

Felix Müller, Quality Management

To maintain and continuously develop these high standards, we provide our employees with regular training and undergo external certification processes. For us, quality is synonymous with trust. That is why we promote a strong awareness of food and its origins, with product provenance playing a central role. Transparency is important to us: we follow the principle of sourcing and producing the highest possible quality as close to its origin as possible, whether for our specialties from the Havelland region or for our international product range.

The responsible use of resources, transparent supply chains, and the continuous improvement of our processes are integral parts of our company’s development. Our processes are reviewed on a regular basis. In the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating, Havelland Express achieved 69 out of 100 points in July 2026. In addition, we operate in the respective designated areas according to certified quality standards such as IFS.
