Family Office
We consider ourselves a classic entrepreneurial family: The foundations of the family business are based on the entrepreneurial actions and mindset of Josef Giesen, who founded J.A. Giesen GmbH & Co KG, a wholesale business for tobacco, in Essen in 1926. Due to this the second generation, Dr. Günter Giesen and his brother Horst, got equity participations in two wholesale companies – Lekkerland and Tobaccoland.
Since the foundation in 1972 by Dr. Günter Giesen, the management of the family assets, which was the predecessor of the Family Office, has had the objective to reinvest the yields in a profitable way.

Team
“If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together.” (African proverb)
The current 3rd and 4th generations guide the company with the support of a team that has grown together according to the German motto: “Frischer Wind und alte Hasen” which means the younger generation offers fresh ideas while the older generation provides long-term experience and expertise.
