„After the record year 2022, the financial year 2023 showed us where we need to optimise our profitability. Now it’s a matter of making these adjustments.“
Marcus Pöllinger
Chief Executive Officer BayWa AG
The BayWa Group’s energy business unit consists of the Renewable Energies and Energy Segments.
The BayWa Group pools the entire Renewable Energies Segment and project business for wind and solar energy in BayWa r.e. AG. BayWa r.e. also trades in photovoltaic (PV) components and storage technology and focuses on further expansion as an independent power producer (IPP).
In the Energy Segment, BayWa sells lubricants, heating oils, diesel, gasoline and wood pellets and offers heating solutions, mainly in southern Germany and Austria. BayWa Mobility Solutions GmbH concentrates on e‑mobility through activities such as expanding and, going forward, also operating charging infrastructure.
The agriculture business unit is divided into four segments: Cefetra Group, Agri Trade & Service, Agricultural Equipment and Global Produce.
Cefetra Group acts as a supply chain manager for international trading with grain, oilseed and specialities — from purchasing and logistics to distribution. When it comes to the procurement and marketing of agricultural products, it possesses a global trading network as well as inland and deep water ports.
The Agri Trade & Service Segment covers in particular the collecting, sales and service stages of the value chain for farms. It supplies farmers with agricultural inputs such as seed, fertilizers, crop protection and feedstuff throughout the entire agricultural year and takes responsibility for collecting and marketing the harvest. The portfolio also includes the range for organic agriculture.
The Agricultural Equipment Segment offers a full line from a variety of different manufacturers of machinery, equipment and systems for all areas of agriculture, along with special vehicles for agriculture, forestry and the public sector. A workshop network with 276 locations and 819 mobile service vehicles provides maintenance and repair services. BayWa also sells used machinery via its locations.
Thanks to its Global Produce Segment, BayWa is a leading global player in fruit and vegetable trading. The company markets a wide range of pome fruit, exotic fruits and other high-quality fruit and vegetable products through BayWa Global Produce GmbH and other subsidiaries.
The Building materials business unit and the Building Materials Segment cover the entire range of products and solutions for building materials – from civil engineering, structural engineering, construction, renovations, modernisation, gardening and landscaping, to solution packages for energy efficiency and healthy building.
Digital resources expand the range of services and boost sales potential. Through BayWa Bau Projekt GmbH, BayWa works with developers on the implementation of construction projects in Germany.
