About Stengers Fruchterlebnis
Kelterei Stenger GmbH from Hösbach in Lower Franconia produces fruit juices, blended juices, cider, Bembelchen and seasonal drinks such as mulled wine and children's punch. The family business, founded in 1895, is run in its fifth generation. The fruit comes mostly from orchard meadows in the company's Lower Franconian home region and from regional fruit growers, supplemented by exotic fruits. In its own press house, the fruit is pressed and bottled on a modern, energy-efficient filling line. The company combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, relies on sustainable processes and has operated a solar installation on its company roof since 2007. Product safety is backed by an IFS certificate for food safety.
