HelloFresh is a publicly quoted company and a member of the most important international stock indices (MSCI and STOXX). And above all, this world-leading meal kit supplier is still growing at a stellar pace.

Since its inception in 2011, German-based HelloFresh has operated on a membership business model.

Therefore, ingredients are always delivered in the right amounts, generating as little waste as possible. The company’s comprehensive data-driven technology platform is one of the key elements at the core of its resounding success. HelloFresh can use its platform to not only engage with its customers’ touchpoints but also manage supply chains and optimize customer experience. For example, in late 2020, the company introduced the online HelloFresh Market, where consumers can order additional products to add to their kit.
