About Zimmermann
Genusswelt Zimmermann GmbH & Co. KG is a family business founded in 1894 by master butcher Edmund Zimmermann in Thannhausen (Bavaria) with around 300 employees. The company produces meat and sausage products such as Munich white sausages, ham specialties (including Original Farmland ham, beechwood-smoked and hand-crafted), scalded sausages, liver dumplings, bread-roll and bacon dumplings, fresh pasta such as Swabian pockets (Maultaschen), ravioli and spaetzle as well as soups and stews – partly according to traditional recipes and in organic quality (organic control body DE-ÖKO-006). Raw materials processed include pork, beef and veal as well as ingredients such as spinach, lentils, durum wheat and whole eggs; a large part of the product range is also available in organic quality. Production takes place in Thannhausen; there the company also operates a factory outlet for end consumers as well as gastronomy businesses, clubhouses and snack bars. In 1906, company founder Zimmermann was appointed Royal Bavarian purveyor to the court by Prince Regent Luitpold; for over 130 years the brand has stood for artisanal meat processing from the region.
