Lieken Urkorn Whole Grain Bread

Lieken Urkorn is a prominent brand of bread in Germany, known for its focus on healthy and traditional whole grain products. The brand was originally established by Fritz Lieken, who pioneered the concept of sliced, packaged bread in the 1920s with a focus on high fiber content and long-lasting freshness. The manufacturing of Lieken Urkorn products primarily takes place in local bakeries across Germany to ensure high quality and distribution efficiency. While the brand has historical roots as a family business, it eventually became part of larger food conglomerates. Today, Lieken Urkorn is owned by the Czech-based Agrofert group, a massive holding company founded by Andrej Babiš that operates across the agriculture, food, chemical, and media sectors.
