The fruit is important – but people who constantly hone their exceptional skills and have a very real passion for their craft are without a doubt our most valuable resource. Here, there are true professionals at work at every stage of the production process. At present, there are around 40, including many veterans such as master distiller Thomas Wiedmann. Or Klaus Schüler, Head of Production, who has been with us for over 40 years. And new and up-and-coming talent such as Clara Löffler, who has just completed her apprenticeship at Schladerer with the highest grades in Germany, and is now bringing fresh ideas and new momentum to our company. On the administrative front, seasoned colleagues such as Doris Fräulin, Manfred Ortlieb and Peter Wiesler provide that all-important element of continuity.

Anton Tunjic ensures that the bottling process runs smoothly, while Irina Kriwoplas is responsible for putting – literally – the finishing touches to every bottle of fruit brandy in the form of the Schladerer coat of arms in golden sealing wax. Just as it was two hundred years ago, the entire work process is still shaped by hands-on expertise, instinct and a sure feel for the right moment.
