Best4Food – the best service for our customers
OUR PRODUCT RANGE
The company offers a broad range of products in the following areas
+ Clothing
+ Hygiene
+ Wood
The fast availability of products and our individual service set Best4Food apart from the rest. We also place great importance on our innovative and high-quality in-house products.
These days, it goes without saying that we have to provide the best quality possible at favourable prices.
Each week, Willy Peitz GmbH imports three to four containers from the Far East alone and is thus one of the biggest importers of disposable clothing and wood/bamboo products in Germany. Partner companies produce our products in keeping with very high standards. We regularly check the manufacturing procedures abroad to guarantee compliance with quality standards. Our products are exported worldwide.
The Managing Director Marc Irrgang sees himself as a partner to the food wholesale trade and industry. Close contact with the customer – where personal advice and the realisation of individual wishes are paramount – is the foundation for success.
Best4Food – Innovation with tradition
MANAGEMENT
Third generation of being committed to the customer
Family members are at the head of Willy Peitz GmbH today, just as they were over 75 years ago. In the third generation of the family, Marc Irrgang has been acting as Managing Director and directing the fortunes of the company for more than 25 years. His brother, Patric Irrgang, presides over the Marketing and Personnel departments.
Close and personal contact with customers and employees is the philosophy of Peitz – Best4Food. Manfred Peitz, who took over the company from his father, still today advises the company on the development of innovative new products (more under In-House Developments).
The management of the family company is also well aware of its social responsibility: for example, selected jobs are assumed by employees of workshops for handicapped craftsmen.
Best4Food – the fourth generation of being committed to the customer
SALES
Individual, on-site advice
It is very important to us to provide expert advice to the customer on-site. Five sales representatives operate nationwide across the whole of Germany. You can get in contact with us immediately here.
We will make every effort to get to know you so that we can advise you and provide you with a perfect service. This involves on the one hand the order quantities and frequencies and the possibility of holding products in stock for you, and on the other hand your wishes for special products, packaging volumes or product kits tailored to your company.
Our new internet site provides current information on the product range, special offers and additional services. If you require a data sheet of the products, you can create a PDF document on the page of every item.
The food industry, the food wholesale trade and butchery retail suppliers are our partners and enjoy our undivided attention at all times.

INTERNATIONALITY
Only the best for you – no matter which country you are in
In the past 20 years, Willy Peitz GmbH has built up a broad and global network of suppliers. In order to continue to step up the strongly increasing commercial contact with the Far East, and particularly China, we employed a Chinese-born employee as an assistant to the company management 10 years ago.
She is responsible for the quality inspections of the delivered containers: the goods are checked against our high standards and retention samples are created. Complete traceability is constantly guaranteed thanks to the individually assigned batch numbers.
The company management personally visits the suppliers on-site at regular intervals. In addition to assuring the quality of the products, these discussions also focus on innovations to ensure that new products from in-house series can be put into production.
Willy Peitz GmbH is one of the biggest importers of disposable products and wood/bamboo products with a volume of several hundred thousand euros per year. The number and geographic diversity of our customers is constantly rising. Peitz- Best4Food now exports its products to more than 25 countries on four continents.
Best4Food – the best for you – no matter which country you are in
