Wir über uns

KULAU means "young, green coconut" in the Tok Pisin language of Papua New Guinea and was founded in Berlin in 2008 by Josefine Staats. Today it stands for a growing company that is passionately dedicated to natural, delicious and visionary organic food and sustainable kitchen utensils. It all started with the organic coconut range  and we are still one of the pioneers on the European market today.

KULAU focuses mainly on trading with our business partners, which include well-known companies such as Dennree, Bio Company, LPG, Bio Partner Switzerland, Biogros Luxembourg and Fair Made in the Czech Republic, as well as many others. In addition, our entire range is also available directly from our online shop.

We have been working very closely with our suppliers in Asia and Europe for years, for example in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and South Korea. Our seaweed for the seaweed broth comes from the clean waters of Galicia in northern Spain. We have worked to ensure that organic farming receives greater recognition and attention in the countries of origin of our products.

It all started in 2007, when KULAU founder and managing director Josefine Staats drank a delicious cocktail straight from a fresh coconut on a beach in Thailand. Her enthusiasm for the coconut palm, a miracle raw material from which you can use everything - from the root to the flower - was sparked. Since 2008, she has been working in Berlin with her dedicated team to make the best possible organic coconut products available to her customers - with success. KULAU is now one of the European market leaders in the field of innovative and natural coconut products. The product range extends from refreshing  organic coconut water , fine-crystalline  organic coconut sugar  and versatile  organic coconut oil  to  young, green coconuts  and much more.

Since 2015, KULAU has not only offered coconut products, but also a growing selection of natural foods in keeping with the spirit of the times, as well as kitchen tools designed to simplify sustainable living. With the same dedication and goal of sustainability and fair trade as with coconut water, coconut oil and coconut sugar, Josefine is focusing on the growing interest in healthy and uncomplicated nutrition and a lifestyle that does not place unnecessary strain on the planet. The company wants to support the move towards natural and as sustainable as possible products and enrich the European market with a growing selection of new products. Some of our products can be purchased in selected organic stores. In our online shop you can also find the complete range and everything that is not (yet) listed in retail stores.

All KULAU products are produced in compliance with high ecological and ethical standards. To achieve this, KULAU works with various international experts, also to promote more mixed culture projects instead of monocultures. Whenever possible, we try to work with small farmers and pay them long before the goods arrive in Germany.  You can find out more about the Kulau philosophy here. 

We want to have a positive influence through fair prices and environmentally conscious action, especially on organic and sustainable agriculture in the producing countries. Josefine Staats
