Commerce + Culture

A bridge between Latin America and Europe

Founded on experience, passion and the conviction that trade can also carry culture.

Our story

Two visions, one project

Kolbeck Aguilar GmbH was born from the shared vision of Alexander Kolbeck and Carlos Aguilar: to bring innovative products from Mexico and, in the future, from all of Latin America to European markets.

From Andechs, near Munich, we build a commercial and cultural bridge that connects producers at origin with customers, distributors and industry in Europe.

The origin of the name

The & symbol that unites us

The brand's imagotype is inspired by the Mayan philosophy In Lak'ech — «you are my other me». Two equal parts in perfect balance: each exists because the other exists too.

Kolbeck represents the European root; Aguilar, the Latin American origin. The central knot — which can also be read as the number 8 of Mayan cosmology — emphasises the interconnection of all things: cycles, directions and balance.
