Mautner Markhof Feinkost

What Mautner Markhof Feinkost does

Mautner Markhof Feinkost GmbH is an Austrian food manufacturer founded in 1843, headquartered at Mautner Markhof-Gasse 39-41 in Vienna-Simmering, with 140 employees at its single production and logistics site. The company produces a portfolio of over 230 food products across four core categories: syrups (Klassiker, Morgenzauber, 0% Zucker, Sirupe plus, FlavorSticks), mustards (Original Estragon Senf, Original Kremser Senf, Dijon, specialty varieties), vinegars (Hesperidenessig since 1927, Apfelgold, Bio Apfelessig, Barrique-aged, Condimento Bianco, Balsamico di Modena), and delicatessen items (Kren/horseradish, dressings, ketchup, mayonnaise, snack dips, ready-to-use Easy Salad dressings). Approximately 76% of the product portfolio is vegan-certified. Mautner Markhof holds a uniquely strong brand position in Austria, with Original Estragon Senf recognized as the country's most popular mustard and Hesperidenessig as Austria's most popular vinegar since 1927.

The company operates a dual business model. The first stream is direct consumer packaged goods sales through Austrian retail chains (supermarkets, delicatessens, specialty food stores) and its own e-commerce shop at mautner.at, with a separate foodservice portal at mautner-foodservice.at for B2B gastronomy customers. The second stream is distribution and brand representation: Mautner Markhof serves as the exclusive Austrian distributor for international brands including TABASCO, Gatorade, AIKO, BBQUE, Reine de Dijon, Krenkönig, and Monari Federzoni, generating distribution margins and service fees for marketing, sales, and logistics. The company owns a CCG1-certified logistics center enabling 24-48 hour delivery across Austria. The traditional stone mill process (Steinmühlen-Verfahren) used for Estragon Senf production is a proprietary manufacturing method underpinning product authenticity.

Mautner Markhof is wholly owned by the Develey group, a Bavarian condiment company, having been acquired in the 2010s. This corporate affiliation provides access to Develey's international distribution network and shared career platforms, but Mautner Markhof itself operates as a separate Austrian GmbH (private limited company). The company is led by two Geschäftsführer (Managing Directors): Michael Durach and Jürgen Brettschneider. No venture capital or external private equity ownership is indicated. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; consumers purchase via retail or the e-commerce shop while B2B foodservice clients transact through the dedicated portal.
