As a multi-brand company, we bring together brands such as Yoshi en, Edeneve and Dr. Schweikart, all founded by entrepreneur Jörg Schweikart as independent sister brands of Sunday Natural. While each brand has its own identity, products and stage of growth, they are united by a shared commitment to quality, innovation, fairness and naturalness.
Our teams work from Grasblau in Berlin, a modern and sustainable office with plenty of natural light, quiet rooms and spaces designed for collaboration and focused work.
