Biochem acquires 7,000 sq m Lohne property to expand German animal nutrition operations
German animal nutrition company Biochem has completed the acquisition of a 7,000-square-metre property adjacent to its Lohne headquarters, including an existing 1,350-square-metre warehouse, as part of a long-term site development strategy for its feed additives and dietary supplements business.
GERMANY – Biochem, a global animal nutrition company specialising in feed additives and dietary supplements, has acquired a 7,000-square-metre property next to its headquarters and production facilities in Lohne, Germany, the company announced on 23 September 2026.
The transaction, completed in July 2026, includes an existing 1,350-square-metre warehouse at Brägeler Forst 6. Biochem said the acquisition is intended to secure additional space for the long-term expansion of its animal nutrition operations without disrupting current administrative and production activities.
The newly acquired site is directly adjacent to Biochem's existing headquarters and production facilities. The company said this proximity is expected to help optimise workflows between teams, streamline supply chain management and provide a basis for integrating the additional space into future development projects.
Dr Alexander Grafe, CEO of Biochem, described the acquisition as a foundation for staged expansion. "This land acquisition is a solid baseline for our long-term site development," Grafe said. "Expanding our facilities at Brägeler Forst reaffirms our ongoing commitment to Lohne and the Oldenburger Münsterland region as our central corporate base."
Biochem said the acquisition strengthens its presence in the Oldenburger Münsterland region, which the company characterised as one of Germany's important livestock and agricultural areas. The company develops feed additives, premixes and other nutritional technologies for livestock production.
According to the company, the warehouse provides immediate additional infrastructure capacity, while the wider 7,000-square-metre property provides room for future expansion. Biochem said the acquisition is part of its longer-term site development strategy rather than an immediate change to current production, with future facility expansion to be carried out in subsequent project phases as capacity requirements develop.
