Mautner Markhof AG
→ Main article: Mautner Markhof
Adolf Ignaz Mautner von Markhof (1801–1889), who comes from the old Bohemian brewing family with a brewing tradition of around 200 years , already ran a relatively large brewery in his place of birth, the cameraman of Smiřice . After moving to Vienna, in 1840 he leased the run-down Sankt Marx brewery in what is now the 3rd district. The year the company was founded is stated to be 1841. In 1846 Adolf Ignaz made history all over the world when he succeeded in developing a process that made yeast production possible independently of beer production. He is therefore considered to be the inventor of compressed yeast . In 1857 Mautner bought the brewery for 275,000 fl ( guilders ) from the Bürgerspitalfond of the municipality of Vienna, in 1861 the property in Simmering was acquired and a branch for yeast , alcohol and spirits was established.
In 1913 the range was expanded to include delicatessen products. From then on, business activities also extended to the production of vinegar and mustard. In 1927 Mautner Markhof invented the Hesperides vinegar, which is a mixture of brandy vinegar ("spirit vinegar"), wine vinegar and apple juice , and continuously expanded production.
After the Second World War , the company developed into a large industrial operation and the product range was expanded to include horseradish and syrup . Mautner Markhof Feinkost GmbH was spun off from the family estate in 2001 and sold. A restart of the family-owned company failed in 2008. There were no longer any economic ties to Mautner Markhof Feinkost GmbH.
Mautner Markhof Feinkost GmbH
In 2001 the Mautner Markhofs withdrew from the company, and the new management initiated the merger with the Bavarian family company Develey Senf & Feinkost , which also has a long tradition in the mustard and delicatessen business. At the beginning of 2002 Mautner Markhof was sold to Develey for 36 million euros . Its subsidiary Develey Austria Vertriebs-GmbH , which had existed in Vienna since December 1998, was the accepting company. On February 1, 2002, the Develey subsidiary, expanded to include Mautner company assets, was renamed Mautner Markhof Feinkost GmbH . Despite the new German owners, what was now Mautner Markhof Feinkost remained an independent Austrian company and production in Vienna.
With well-known traditional products such as “tarragon mustard” or “ Hesperiden vinegar ” and with an increased number of 140 employees, Mautner Markhof Feinkost achieved an annual turnover of 38 million euros in 2008 and experienced a new boom. With product innovations such as the “MorgenZauber” syrup and the “X Hot Senf”, the company is one of the theme and innovation leaders in the Austrian delicatessen industry. Mautner Markhof Feinkost has been a leading company in Austria since July 2010. In 2012 the company received the distinction to use the federal coat of arms.
