At VIV ASIA 2023, Leiber presented itself as an innovative producer of animal nutrition and health solutions for all animal species: from pigs to poultry, beef and dairy cattle up to and including aquacultures, pets and horses in all phases of life. After a long, four-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Bangkok was once again the focus of the feed industry. Leiber was able to meet up with its customers and partners face-to-face in Asia again, too.
Leiber views the APAC region as a significant growth market with long-term potential. It is important to the brewers’ yeast specialist to recognise customers’ diverse requirements and offer innovative solutions in order to improve feed quality, feed consumption and sustainability, for instance. Talks at trade fairs offer the impetus for specifically implementing new brewers’ yeast projects that arise from dialogue with customers.
VIV ASIA is one of the biggest trade fairs in Asia dedicated to livestock breeding, animal production, its supply chain and animal health solutions, bringing together all related sectors and animal species. The trade fair offered 45,527 visitors the opportunity to take a look at products and services from more than 1,186 global manufacturers and suppliers from 57 countries. Intensive personal dialogue, networking and lively knowledge transfer took place at the feed-to-food industry’s marketplace over a period of three days.
Leiber is already planning its visit to the next VIV Asia, which is scheduled to take place in Bangkok again from 12 to 14 March 2025.
About Leiber:
Leiber refines brewers’ yeast to produce innovative products for humans and animals. For our customers we carry out research in our own laboratories and develop tailor-made product solutions for healthy nutrition, biotechnology and agricultural applications. We reliably supply excellent products – and have been upcycling at world-market level since 1954.
Since the beginning of 2023, Leiber has been a member of the BalPro Association for Alternative Protein Sources (“Verband für alternative Proteinquellen”).
On 30 January, 2023, BalPro made the official announcement that Leiber is a new member of the association. Our company was featured on the BalPro website and on social networks such as LinkedIn.
Why has Leiber joined BalPro?
Based on the idea that “differentiating beats ideologising”, BalPro is an independent platform of companies, start-ups, politics and research institutes that form a network for exchanging branch-specific expertise on all matters relating to alternative proteins.
The exciting feature here is that the association members themselves act within the entire value chain of alternative proteins, thus forming a network of experts from a wide range of fields, who are able to find answers to complex questions.
At Leiber, we see the topic of alternative proteins as a key technology and are therefore convinced that being a member of BalPro and benefitting from the associated exchange of information and open dialogue within the companies will make an important contribution to furthering the economic development of alternative proteins and allow Leiber to strengthen its interests and position in the various markets.
We recognise numerous opportunities for constructive and transparent dialogue with many of the association members and for developing relationships with new and existing customers and project partners.

To kick off 2023, Leiber is establishing a cross-functional marketing approach and stepping up its international sales in the Life Science Business Unit.
Karolin Kreutzer has been heading up Leiber’s cross-sector marketing department since 1.1.2023. As a trained advertising specialist and an experienced saleswoman, she previously represented Leiber’s Nutraceuticals Business Unit as its Global Business Development Manager, a role in which she enjoyed international success. She will continue to develop the Leiber brand’s strategic thrust together with marketing experts Jana Blank and Karen Mörler.
“Leiber’s position as a market leader for product solutions consisting of brewers’ yeast is thanks to its constant innovativeness. Our dedicated colleagues in the various specialist fields and countries contribute extensively to the success of this family-run, medium-sized company. What I am most looking forward to in my new position is further enhancing these actively implemented values from within the company and making them visible externally through targeted communication,” says Karolin Kreutzer.
Within the Life Science Business Unit, two new Key Account Managers will be looking after our customers in Europe: Ms Eike Meyer-Wetjen will be supporting customers in Germany/Austria and Ireland/UK with immediate effect. Mr Alessandro Sobacchi is the contact person for the expansion of the Italian market. Both have long-term experience in the food industry and have already worked successfully as distribution partners for Leiber in the past. With these two experts, Leiber is specifically stepping up its direct selling in these countries.

Leiber is once again presenting its products at specialist trade fairs around the globe with a new, sustainable stand concept. Following the forced hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic, visitors at the EuroTier trade fair were delighted to engage in face-to-face talks again. Leiber focused on the sustainability of its brewers’ yeast products under the slogan ‘Give Yeast a Second Life’. Digital brochures and reusable stand construction elements at the small, but fine 40 m² stand also underscored the importance of sustainability to Leiber.
106,000 people attended the world’s leading trade fair for professional animal production and livestock management in Hanover in November. In order to specifically engage in dialogue with professional visitors, Leiber’s stand concept was designed for communication, with brewers’ yeast products on display, a touch wall with video clips and slide shows and a download area for digital brochures.
Helge Jakubowski, Director of Leiber’s Animal Nutrition Business Unit, and his team were delighted about the numerous discussions conducted with customers and interested visitors. “It was wonderful to be able to talk about innovations and joint projects in person again. This professional exchange is inspiring for all concerned.” The clearly visible trade fair stand offered a convivial, informative backdrop for this.
Around 1,800 manufacturers from 57 countries took part in EuroTier at the trade fair grounds in Hanover from 15 to 18 November 2022. Each day, national and international companies presented their products and innovations in 14 halls covering an area of 250,000 m² following a four-year break in physical attendance.
