Case Story / November 10, 2024
Hemme Milch is one of Germany’s oldest dairies and known for a rich history and commitment to quality. When modernizing their product presentation and meet rising consumer demands they chose the Ecolean® Air 500 ml and 1000 ml packaging for their milk products.
In 2010, Hemme Milch embarked on a journey to renew their packaging strategy. They selected the Ecolean® Air 500 ml and 1000 ml because of the innovative shape and low environmental impact. The distinctive black package design has become a hallmark of the brand, helping their products stand out on the shelves and reinforcing their premium image. This strategic move has been instrumental in driving consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Hemme Milch’s commitment to innovative design has earned them several prestigious awards, including the German Brand Award 2023 in the Product Brand of the Year category. This award highlights the success of their packaging strategy and their dedication to quality.
The Ecolean packaging not only offers a unique and eye-catching design but also supports Hemme Milch’s sustainability goals. The lightweight material and convenient features, such as the ability to reclose the package (SnapQuick™), make it a practical choice for consumers. The packaging’s low environmental impact aligns with Hemme Milch’s commitment to preserving natural resources and delivering high-quality products.
“In 2010 we started running a new dairy with modern technology. Our aim was to launch a sustainable, innovative package for pasteurized milk. And it should be different to conventional milk packages,” says Mr. Jörgen Hemme, Owner, Hemme Milch. Several years later, Hemme Milch still uses the Ecolean package.
Milk production at Hemme Milch began in 1589, and the dairy has remained in the same family ever since. Located in Wedemark, in the northern Hannover region of Germany, the farm is now managed by Mr. Jörgen Hemme, the 18th generation farmer. Hemme Milch is renowned for its strong tradition of producing high-quality milk products and its commitment to environmental stewardship. Every cow is born, raised, and cared for on the farm, resulting in products that are truly made from the heart.
