In 1907, Laurens Nikolaus Carl Janssen started up his own business in the town of Leer in East Frisia (northern Germany): the Ostfriesische Tee Gesellschaft (OTG). In the early 1950s his grandson, Laurens Spethmann, took over the management of the company. Together, Laurens and Marianne Spethmann built the Ostfriesische Tee Gesellschaft into a successful tea supplier on a national and international scale. In 1996, they turned over the management of the family business to the next generation. The Ostfriesische Tee Gesellschaft with its experience, strong concepts and major brands Meßmer, Milford and Onno Behrends is one of the leading tea suppliers in the German market.
