Dr. Oetker

We are continuously working on making our packaging more sustainable all around the world. 🌍♻️ A recent example is the improvement of the packaging for our Writing Icings🖋️: In 2025, we switched from a printed PET folding box to a recyclable cartonboard packaging in several European countries. This change has reduced the amount of plastic in the consumer packaging by 40%. For us at Dr. Oetker, this represents another important milestone on our path to using only reusable, compostable, or recyclable packaging by 2030. ♻️💚 We remain committed – with many more packaging optimizations already in progress.

At Dr. Oetker, we believe empowering people starts with creating an environment where everyone feels respected, safe, and able to bring their authentic selves to work. Martin Hellesen, Managing Director for the Nordic & Baltic markets, shares how he brings this to life in his region. Leading several country organizations, Martin sees every day how important it is to listen, be transparent, and build trust so teams can work confidently across borders. During the recent office move in Copenhagen, transparency became the guiding principle, with decisions openly shared, colleagues involved early, and spaces designed to help people connect. The result? Faster collaboration, more meaningful dialogue, and a workplace where diverse perspectives genuinely shape how we work. Because inclusion isn’t a project. It’s something we build, moment by moment, through the actions we take every day.

Meet our employees around the world 🌍 Szia from Hungary! 👋 I’m Péter Lukács and my favourite product is Dr. Oetker’s American Pancake. 🥞 I love it because it’s easy to prepare and tastes absolutely delicious, especially in combination with apricot jam. My personal tip: I bake it in smaller sizes, put it in a bowl and then eat it by dipping it in the jam – it’s like a tortilla chip with sauce! At Dr. Oetker in Jánossomorja, I work as a technical indirect purchaser and I joined the company in 2023. My daily task is to meet the needs of the various departments as quickly as possible. I am grateful to be able to work among such talented professionals, gain knowledge in so many areas (e.g. energy, quality assurance and manufacturing technology) and for the unique joy I get from my work. 🌟 Besides my work at Dr. Oetker, I love to travel, get to know people and cultures, spend time with my friends and family and laugh a lot. 🧳🗺️ For more information on our products and on our people, visit: https://lnkd.in/eAVWBTGt 🔍

Meet our employees around the world 🌍 Hej from Sweden! 👋 I’m Sandra Wall and my favourite product is Dr. Oetker’s food colouring.🎨 I love it because it’s a product with many uses that has been around since my childhood. The memories take me back to my preschool days, when the teachers made playdough in all sorts of wonderful colours for us children, and we could shape little figures out of the dough and could spend hours having fun with it. At Dr. Oetker Sweden, I work as a field sales representative and I joined the company in 2024. I work in stores to ensure strong distribution and visibility for Dr. Oetker’s products, while also being responsible for selling in both the regular assortment, seasonal products, and local campaigns, such as pizza promotions.🛍️ The team I work with is a group of diverse personalities who always have a great time together whenever we meet. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my family – my partner and our two children. We enjoy spending time outdoors together, and during the summer months we love being out on the lake with our boat. In winter, we head north to go skiing.❄️⛷️ For more information on our products and on our people, visit: https://lnkd.in/eAVWBTGt 🔍

Meet our employees around the world 🌍 Hola from Mexico!👋 I’m Norma Liliana Rayas Rodriguez and my favourite product is Dr. Oetker’s Rexal baking powder.🥧 I love it because I can cook many types of sweet or savory dishes with it. I use it to cook “chiles en Nogada”, crepes, cream cookies, breads like “pan de Muerto” and cake “tres leches” with the family recipe. I have a very large family, and I really enjoy spending my free time with them. We cook together, we travel around the country, we have many parties and celebrations together.🎉 We are a very noisy but fun family.

Meet our employees around the world 🌍 Haigh from Ireland!👋 I’m Éimhín Dale and my favourite product is the Dr. Oetker Suprema Calabrese & ‘Nduja Tipo Pizza.🍕 I love it because of the absolutely gorgeous flavour: The spicy kick of the nduja balanced with just a hint of honey makes it, in my opinion, the most superior pizza in the frozen category. At Dr. Oetker in Dublin, I’m the Senior National Account Manager and I joined the company 15 years ago. No two days are ever the same! What I love most is the interaction with people: learning from others and, hopefully, sharing some of my own experience and knowledge along the way. 👥 During my career at Dr. Oetker, I’ve been lucky enough to have three children, so these days outside of work you’ll usually find me on the sidelines of a football, GAA, or rugby pitch.
