Schluckwerder GmbH
Schluckwerder is an established confectionery manufacturer specializing in premium marzipan, pralines, and chocolate specialties since 1956, serving retail and private label customers across Europe.
Since its founding in 1956, Schluckwerder has developed into a leading manufacturer of high-quality marzipan, pralines, and chocolate specialties in northern Germany. The company operates modern, flexible production facilities in Adendorf near Lüneburg, with consolidated operations at their main facility on Bunsenstraße following a consolidation in 2022. Schluckwerder produces both under its own brand and as a private label manufacturer for retail customers, with a particular focus on seasonal products for Christmas and Easter.
The company's product portfolio ranges from classical marzipan loaves to traditional chocolate wreaths with nonpareilles, all manufactured using natural ingredients and adhering to the highest quality standards. With approximately 400 production staff during seasonal peak periods and 40 administrative employees, Schluckwerder maintains reliable logistics and optimized production planning to ensure consistent product availability and customer satisfaction. The company holds multiple quality certifications and has received DLG awards for consistent product quality.
Schluckwerder operates as part of the Valeo Foods Group following the company's acquisition in 2021. It also owns the Original Lübecker Marzipan brand (Erasmi & Carstens GmbH), acquired in 1995, strengthening its position on the global market. The company supplies the European retail market with its own and private label confectionery products at competitive, fair prices, combining traditional confectionery expertise with innovative product development.
