From apprentice to key account manager

Many former apprentices have taken the opportunity to develop at Hügli. Maximilian Merkt is one of them.

Start as an industrial clerk

Maximilian Merkt, now Key Account Manager in the B2C department, started his training as an industrial clerk with an additional qualification in international business management at Hügli in 2010. The highlight of the training was the internship abroad and the Brand Solutions department. This is how the desire to work in the Brand Solutions department arose after the apprenticeship.

"From 2015-2019 I did a part-time distance learning course. I can advise everyone to continue their education after the training, because you never stop learning."

Today working as a Key Account Manager

After successfully completing his training and showing commitment, he was taken on as a clerk in the internal sales department in the department of his choice. Maximilian took the opportunity for further development, completed a part-time course of study and has risen to the position of Key Account Manager by 2020. We are excited to see where his journey at Hügli will take him!

Hügli at the FiE 2025

Food Ingredients Europe in Paris is the meeting place for everyone who is shaping the future of flavour. From 2-4 December 2025, we will be there to show just how versatile our solutions for snacks, sauces and ingredients can be. Discover our new snack concept "Flavours of Welcome", learn more about our "Italian Taste Solution", and be inspired by our BRESC Purées. Visit us in hall 7.2 at stand D54!

Snack Concept - Amplified Heat

Spiciness is the new trend in the snack world and is inspiring consumers. Inspired by global flavours such as chilli, pepper and ginger, the heat levels range from mild to fiery. Creative combinations that combine heat with fresh, smoky or spicy notes are particularly popular. With the "Amplified Heat" concept, we take spiciness to a new level and offer exceptional flavour experiences that stimulate the senses.

Fi Europe 2024

The Fi Europe trade fair took place in Frankfurt from 19 to 21 November 2024 - an event that no company in the food industry could afford to miss. For us, it was a great opportunity to experience the food industry up close and to find out about new products. At stand 4.1H2, we presented our new snack concept Smokewood Heritage and our chilled ingredients brand Bresc. It was an exciting exchange that we really enjoyed.
