IT’S GOTTA BE DITSCH — YOUR AUTHENTIC BAVARIAN PRETZEL PROVIDER

YOUR SINGLE-SOURCE PRETZEL MANUFACTURER

AUTHENTIC GERMAN STYLE PRETZELS ARE OUR PASSION

Since 1919, we have been pursuing our passion for pretzel products every day – Today Ditsch is the world’s leading baker of artisan pretzel products!

An independently run Group, we have been part of the Swiss Valora Group since 2012, and most recently the FEMSA Group since 2022.

Early in 2017, a young US based startup „Pretzel Baron“ joined the Ditsch Group. The company was founded by multi generation master Baker Gary Gottenbusch with award winning recipes and products, and re branded as Ditsch USA in 2017.

Ditsch operates in both Germany and the USA - Mainz and Oranienbaum, and in Cincinnati with almost 1,500 associates and 20 production lines. Ditsch products are available in over 30 countries globally, and the business has invested substantially in the last years to increase its global operational capabilities.

Since 2017 Ditsch USA has continued to grow upon these it’s founding principles of quality, entreprenuership and passion for pretzels. Now with almost 200 associates, the team is currently expanding into a second facility in 2024-2025.

Pretzels build bridges – from generations to generations, from young to old, from Europe to USA.
