Jan Bredack to Step Down as Veganz CEO, Will Be Succeeded by Financial Expert Rayan Tegtmeier

Jan Bredack, the founder of plant-based food producer Veganz Group AG, is stepping down as CEO after nearly 15 years. Financial expert Rayan Tegtmeier will take over as CEO from October 1. Bredack, who transformed Veganz from a vegan supermarket chain to a plant-based food producer with international reach, will focus on the indoor farming sector as Managing Director of OrbiFarm GmbH, while remaining the largest shareholder of Veganz.

Tegtmeier, with over 24 years of experience in growth strategies and corporate leadership, is expected to lead Veganz into its next growth phase as a scalable technology business. As the company expands with the founding of new entities like Mililk FoodTech GmbH, Tegtmeier aims to enhance investor relations, access capital markets, and create long-term shareholder value. He is committed to profitable scaling, efficient capital allocation, business expansion, and improving the company's share price valuation through strategic growth initiatives.
