Worlée is celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2026, marking the company's official founding in Hamburg on 1 July 1851. Over the past 175 years, the family business has evolved from a trading company into an international group active in personal care, chemicals and natural raw materials. The anniversary coincides with a key milestone in the company's succession planning. Since 1 January 2026, Johanna von Eben-Worlée has been a member of the Executive Management Board, representing the sixth generation of the family business. Having been with the company for more than six years, she is responsible for Human Resources as well as Marketing and Corporate Communications.
