A graduate in business administration, Wortmann began his sales career at Aldi Nord and then moved to the Hol ab! beverage chain before rising within Edeka Südwest to become Commercial Director of the neukauf markt subsidiary. In 2004, he moved to the Dohle Handelsgruppe and took over as Head of Central Purchasing Beverages; from 2016, he was responsible as Managing Director for Purchasing and Sales at the beverage logistics service provider Trinks. Andreas Dietzel, Managing Director Sales HassiaGruppe: "We are delighted that in Sven Wortmann we have been able to recruit an industry expert for the vacant position of Managing Director Sales, who will be a competent contact for our partners in food retailing, beverage wholesaling and retailing, and the catering industry." This is the first time the sales professional has switched sides: from a retail company to a food manufacturer. "I am looking forward to the new tasks and working with a highly motivated team," adds Sven Wortmann.

The former regular soldier likes to devote his free time to nature photography and enjoys events of the Rheingau Music Festival; gladly with a targeted detour to the wine-growing regions of the region or Germany-wide.

As of January 1, 2021, the locations, brand and distribution rights to Carolinen, Güstrower Schlossquell as well as Gaensefurther Schloss Quelle have been transferred to the Hassia Group.
All three operations are to be continued and the brand business expanded. The Hassia Group will thus unite eleven locations and around 1,750 employees under its roof. In fiscal 2019, the family-owned company stood for sales of 820 million liters of non-alcoholic soft drinks as well as cider and revenue of €282 million.
