About us

Melro’s Best® is a family business, founded by Alfred Temborius in 1998. When the one-time managing director of a leading packaging company felt the need to follow a new, meaningful vocation and a healthier lifestyle, he hung up his old job on the peg. He found a pineapple plantation in Malaysia and started to market pineapple juice. Long before the organic boom, he was convinced that only natural not-from-concentrate juice from fair conditions could be contemplated – a juice, such as had not previously existed in Germany.

Organic products, fair trade and distant lands - these things also awakened the interest of his daughter, Melanie Temborius, who had inherited the entrepreneurial spirit and tenacity of her father. Back then, though, he could never have dreamed that she already be running the company just a few years later.

Melro’s Best^® GmbH evolved swiftly and in 2003, when activities spread to neighbouring overseas countries, Temborius handed over the reins of the growing firm to his daughter and founded "Melro's Best® International," with headquarters in Zug, Switzerland.

With the start of her company leadership, Melanie Temborius pressed vigorously ahead with the strategic realignment of Melro’s Best GmbH. She developed new concepts together with her husband, Christian Oliver Thrun who assumed the management of marketing and distribution. She succeeded in further cementing the Melro´s Best^® brand by expanding the product range, e.g. with "Melro’s Best^® Passion Fruit" and the organic fruit bars, by tapping new sales channels and by means of a consistent communication strategy with targeted PR measures.

In the meantime, they had succeeded in attaining listings in numerous supermarkets, including an almost nationwide Edeka network. Melro's Best^® not-from-concentrate juices find their way to the discerning customer over shop counters and via hotel and catering businesses and, as before, directly into the homes of the many end consumers who have remained loyal to Melro’s Best^® since 1998.

Melro’s Best^® GmbH is a family business with a positive view of the future.
