Euricom creates a new base in Germany with the acquisition of Müller's Mühle

The Italian rice and pulses giant Euricom (approximately 900 million in consolidated turnover) continues to expand abroad by acquiring Germany's Müller's Mühle.

The company from Valle Lomellina (Pavia) has signed binding agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of the company from GoodMills, one of Europe’s largest milling groups – headquartered in Vienna and with an estimated turnover of 1,2 billion euros – and owner since 1989.

Muller’s Mühle: rice and pulses since 1893

The company, founded in 1893 and headquartered in Gelsenkirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia), has been developing the Müller's Mühle brand since 1920, offering German consumers pulses, rice and other grains, including red lentils, beluga lentils and basmati rice.

The acquired company, which generates approximately 75 million in annual turnover, will enrich Euricom’s portfolio, which already includes well-known brands such as Curtiriso and Flora in Italy, Sonko in Poland and Ebly in France, a company acquired at the beginning of 2026.

Müller's Mühle boasts a large production site in its native Gelsenkirchen (with production capacity of around 120.000 tonnes per year) and a prominent brand and will become Euricom’s base in Germany.

The new owner will continue to invest in the plant, the brand and the workforce.

A deal focused on plant-based proteins

“The acquisition,” Euricom points out, “strengthens our presence in the pulses sector, a category with long-term growth potential throughout Europe, driven by strong demand for plant-based proteins and support for a healthy, accessible and sustainable diet”.

The Gelsenkirchen site, in the westernmost part of the country, is also in a key position for supplying Euricom’s products to consumers in the Netherlands (40 km away), as well as Belgium and Luxembourg.

That is not all, because the deal expands Euricom’s B2B business in the ingredients sector. At its own factory, Müller’s Mühle also operates a modern plant, which came into operation in 2021, dedicated to extracting proteins from pulses and starch flours.

The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Euricom globally processes around one million tonnes of products a year. Its activities cover the entire value chain, with local sourcing and processing capacity in the main rice-growing regions (located in southern Europe, South America and South Asia) and 15 production facilities throughout Europe.
