Andrea Sieben
The ice cream business was something Andrea Sieben grew up with. Her grandfather was already a maker of chocolate and nut paste. Her parents, the Schmitz, developed an ice cream wholesale business in the 60s. So, familiarity with the industry spans entire generations. While studying Business Administration Andrea Sackmann-Sieben spent a term at Italy’s Bocconi University of Economics in Milan. Her responsibilities at GEBAS lie in the field of finance, law, personnel, orders and warehousing as well as data processing and any other internal matter that comes up. She is the hub that ties everything together.

Her 3 children. Thanks to them she is a Ninjago and Barbie expert. Back exercises … and you should always have time to snuggle down with a nice soppy novel.

Mario Annegarn
From an early age Mario Annegarn had always been in love with Italy (the country, its people and food etc.). So choosing a career related to Italy was a must. But his path to this goal took some twists and turns. After an apprenticeship at Volkswagen he went on to study Business Administration. Following this he worked for a few years at Dresdner Bank. It was during this time that a newspaper article headed with the words “Knowledge of Italian Desirable” caught his eye. From then on his career was turned on its head and his old school friends’ prediction that “…he would make the perfect ice cream seller… ” turned out to be spot on.
