Gerd Beilke is CEO of Teutoburger Ölmühle, a German producer of premium cold-pressed oils built around a non-chemical purification process. Since joining the company in 2017, he has led a significant shift toward organic production and cut unprofitable operations, moves that took organic oils from about 10% to 75% of total output while annual revenue grew from €32 million to €65 million.
His management style favors decisive cost reduction, focus on high-growth market segments, and building a management team aligned with the company's values. Rather than relying on generic corporate training, Beilke favors hands-on development and shared responsibility to grow employee capability.
He is targeting further growth in organic production, aiming for 90%, alongside an expansion of the company's social responsibility efforts in the coming years.
