While
holding the position as Secretary of Agriculture and Fishing
in the State of Chiapas, Mexico, in the 1960s, the company founder,
Mr. G. Beutelspacher, worked closely with local beekeepers which
allowed him to acquire a profound understanding of this industry.
Inspired by the beekeepers´ endless commitment and the
excellent quality of the regional honey types, Mr. Beutelspacher
founded “Productos Naturales del Campo” in 1980
with the objective to export honey from Chiapas and foster the
development of the regional beekeeping industry.
Since the establishment, the owner has been eager
to seek promising opportunities. Initially, the product assortment
included a small number of honey types exclusively from the state
of Chiapas. However, new family-owned subsidiaries, which were
set up in the Yucatan peninsula and in Central Mexico in the 1990s
by the company founder’s children, allowed the family to
offer a wide variety of domestic honey types.
Soon
after the successful growth in Mexico, we, Mrs. Ingrid Beutelspacher
and my husband Christopher Zirbel, opened the sales company, Apimiel
GmbH, in Berlin, Germany, where the main market was to be found
originally. Since then, we extended the product assortment when
new opportunities arose in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil
where close business relationships with reliable partners and
professional cooperatives were established.
Today, we attend to our numerous worldwide clients
from this location and deliver our honey in drums directly from
the country of origin to any port in the world.
