Zuegg is a family company built on people and its own orchards. That is what makes the difference. Having orchards in both northern and southern Italy means fruit can be grown in ideal terrain and climate conditions for each variety: the very best can only be achieved when the seeds, soil and climate are perfect. The business is founded on in-depth knowledge of our orchards, humility and ambition, as well as a desire to constantly experiment with new recipes that awaken the taste buds. 1860 THE BEGINNING Ernst August and Maria Zuegg (from whom the Zuegg family name comes) begin growing fruit on their farm in Lana d’Adige together with their 14 children. The family starts selling its apples at neighboring markets, and before long their business reaches as far as Saint Petersburg. 1889 The company Karl and Vigil, the two eldest sons, take over the small family business and turn it into a modern company, despite the hardships caused by the outbreak of World War I. 1923 The first experiments In 1917, in Laces, near Bolzano, the company begins processing fruit with its first experiments in producing apple preserves. Actual production of preserves, however, does not start until 1923. It is an immediate success, and thanks to the superior quality of its preserves, Zuegg conquers the markets of Northern Italy.   1960 In the early 1960s, Zuegg creates "Frutta Viva": a preserve with no artificial preservatives or colorings. In 1962 a new factory opens in Verona and production of fruit-based semi-finished products begins. 1985 The Avellino plant. Zuegg celebrates the opening of a new production site immersed in the nature of Avellino. There, the fruit is harvested under strict controls, sorted and turned into purée or frozen cubes. 1991 Beyond national borders - Germany. For the first time, part of the production moves abroad, to Werneuchen near Berlin. The new plant is responsible for producing semi-finished products for the northern European markets. 2002 France - In 2001 Zuegg acquires the German factory in Zorbig, near Leipzig, to produce preserves and syrups under the registered brands Zuegg and Zoerbiger. In 2002 the plant in Elne, France, is purchased to produce semi-finished products for the French, Spanish and Portuguese markets. 2010 Austria and Russia. Zuegg Austria GmbH is founded in Graz to market Zuegg products in Austria and Eastern European countries. In the same year a new factory opens in Afanasevo, Russia, to produce semi-finished products. 2013 Switzerland - To be closer to the needs of customers and consumers, new sales offices are set up in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The ideal crossroads between the Italian market and other northern European markets.   2014 USA. Zuegg enters the American market. An important milestone for a company that strives to become ever more global without giving up its artisanal and traditional roots.
