About HANSA Landhandel
HANSA Landhandel GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Heeslingen (Lower Saxony), is a family-run company in the feed and agricultural sector. The compound feed plants in Bremen and Osterheeslingen produce over 450,000 tonnes of compound feed annually for pigs, cattle and poultry; recipe development is carried out by specialists at the headquarters in Heeslingen and fed online into the production facilities. In addition to feed production, the company collects and markets grain, oilseeds and legumes, operates a grain center in Mulmshorn as well as numerous regional storage locations, and distributes fertilizers, seeds, crop protection products and animal hygiene products. Its own agricultural service offers contract work such as crop protection, fertilizer application, drilling and GPS-based soil sampling. Delivery in the Elbe-Weser region is carried out with the company's own truck fleet. Founded in 1973 through the merger of six agricultural trading companies, HANSA Landhandel supplies livestock and arable farming operations.
