Brewery: Warsteiner Group wants to push ahead with restructuring under new CEO
The new CEO Bodo-Joachim Wendenburg is joining the company at a difficult time. Warsteiner is planning to sell or close one of its breweries by the end of the year.
The Warsteiner-based brewery group, Haus-Cramer-Gruppe, is undergoing a major restructuring under new leadership. Bodo-Joachim Wendenburg will oversee the restructuring, which includes the closure of the Herford brewery and a potential sale or closure of the Paderborn brewery by the end of 2026. The company plans to concentrate its beer production in Warstein, reducing its capacity by 30%, and has confirmed that the Herforder and Paderborner beer brands will be preserved and produced in Warstein.
The company has also announced that 50 jobs will be offered in Warstein, with some employees receiving severance packages.
