Since 1999 Hochland has been a public limited company. This restructure is in keeping with the on-going internationalisation of the group, which requires greater flexibility, especially with regard to corporate law. This orientation serves to secure the long-term future of the company and jobs.

Hochland SE is not listed on the stock exchange but is still owned by the founding families. This model combines the advantages of a public limited company with the tradition of a family business. It creates the conditions necessary for successful management of the company in the future.
