QUALITY NEEDS EXPERIENCE
Over 120 years of company history
Since its foundation in 1902, A. Saumweber GmbH has been producing butterfats, vegetable fats and specialty fats & oils for bakeries, gastronomy, industry and retail. Our recipe for success consists of our high flexibility, which enables us to respond to individual customer requirements, as well as our high certified quality standard.
“We started out as a small dairy in Munich in 1902. Today, we are an international partner for high-quality edible fats and oils, as well as other flavor carrier products. One thing has not changed since we were founded: We have the highest quality standards and are happy to cater to your individual wishes.”
Rainer Saumweber, Geschäftsführer
Over the course of several generations, our small beginnings have developed into a premium manufacturer of milk fats and vegetable fats that is respected throughout Europe. Many things have changed for us in a constant process of innovation and growth. However, one thing has remained the same – we are a family business and are therefore committed to values such as fairness, trust and reliability.
QUALITY NEEDS TRUST
Quality with letter and seal
Trust is the capital from which long-term partnerships are built. That is why we work every day to confirm and deepen this trust. Our top priority is to constantly improve our products and optimize our manufacturing processes. We give our customers the best that we can produce with our many years of experience. This begins with the careful selection of raw materials and continues in production, which is based on the latest scientific findings.
Our specialists use a specially developed, multi-stage inspection program to ensure that only the highest quality goods reach the customer. Because quality cannot be checked often enough. After all, it’s all about the success and satisfaction of our customers – and perfect enjoyment for everyone. We guarantee this with a comprehensive quality management system, certified in accordance with the international Food Standard (iFS). Food safety is, of course, our top priority, which is ensured by an implemented HaCCP and Food Defense System.
QUALITY NEEDS SUSTAINABILITY
Active environmental protection is our guiding principle
Protecting the climate, environment and natural resources is an important corporate goal for us. We are committed to using energy more effectively in order to reduce our environmental impact and save costs. We attach great importance to the environmentally conscious selection of our suppliers and raw materials and constantly monitor the entire production process right through to the delivery of our finished goods.
In 2012, we were recognized as a Munich ÖKOPROFIT company. Following the successful introduction of our environmental management system, we were certified in accordance with EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) for the first time in August 2015. We have also been a member of the Bavarian Environmental Pact since 2013.
With our new plant in Rosenheim, we are now also participating in the City of Munich’s ÖKOPROFIT project. We are also aiming for EMAS certification for our new site in the near future.

What makes us special?
Our success story began back in 1902 with the founding of a small dairy in the Au district in the heart of Munich. Over several generations, these small beginnings have developed into a premium manufacturer of milk and vegetable fats that is respected throughout Europe.
With a comprehensive quality management system, certified according to the international Food Standard (iFS), we have guaranteed the highest quality standards for all our products since our foundation.
For us, active environmental protection is an obligation towards our customers, employees and future generations. Thanks to the involvement of our employees, we are able to achieve this throughout the entire production process, which is why we were awarded the Munich EcoProfit award for the first time in 2012.
When it comes to top quality and product safety, there are no compromises for us. Our specialists have developed their own multi-stage inspection program to ensure that only high-quality goods reach the customer.
We are constantly adapting our product range to the wishes of our customers and thus to the needs of society. Organic products are also playing an increasingly important role for us.
