Söllingen, July 1, 2025 – Strube, one of the leading companies in the world of sugar beet and seed innovation, is entering a new chapter — full of trust, perspective, and optimism for the future. Effective July 1, 2025, Andreas Albersmeier, who is also Managing Director of RAGT Saaten Deutschland, will take over operational management at Strube. Marcel Landmann, who has played a key role in shaping Strube over the past two years and guiding it towards renewed success, will continue to oversee the transition through the fall and will gradually hand over his responsibilities.
This change represents both continuity and a fresh start. As part of the innovative RAGT Group, Strube will continue to strengthen its role as a reliable and strong partner to the agricultural sector. In growing together, Strube and RAGT will use the new impulses and synergies that are emerging—with the clear goal of supporting our customers with high-quality solutions and shaping the future of agriculture.

“I sincerely thank Marcel Landmann for his passionate dedication, foresight, and the trustful cooperation over the past years. Thanks to his work, Strube is excellently positioned today to explore new paths and drive innovative developments within the RAGT Group. I look forward to working with the entire team—and to building a successful future with our customers.”
With this leadership transition, Strube reaffirms its strong commitment to partnership, innovation, and sustainable development. As part of the RAGT Group, we are ready to continue developing new solutions for agriculture with heart, expertise, and dedication—in close cooperation with our customers, for a strong and fertile future.
