Overview
- The Meggle Group said Toni Meggle died on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the age of 94.
- He transformed a regional dairy in Wasserburg into an internationally active food group through decades of expansion and product innovation.
- Signature products credited to his era include portioned butter, the herb butter that built brand recognition, and later chilled herb baguettes.
- To safeguard the firm, he transferred his shares to the Toni‑Meggle‑Stiftung in 2019, whose statutes prohibit a sale and prioritize preserving jobs.
- The company said his wife, Marina, will serve as deputy chair of the foundation board to carry forward his legacy, as the group continues regular operations and recently received approvals for German acquisitions.
