DREHER GROUP TAKES A LOOK BACK

From Fidele cider to the Spirit Of Naturals

1924

Fidel Dreher started off by going door to door along the Heuberg with his mobile juice press and pressed the farmer’s apples to juice. This juice was fermented into natural cider.

1945

The first press was installed and put in operation by Fidel Dreher and his wife at their farmhouse in Königsheim. Due to the difficult times, the press wasn’t paid for with money, but with bacon and flour.

1978

By building the first production and storage facilities in Stockach, company CEO Hans Dreher, pictured here with his wife Cäzilia, achieved a key milestone in the company’s history.

2017

The second state-of-the-art Dreher Group production site officially started operations in Koprzywnica, Poland, close to the town of Sandomierz in Świętokrzyskie province.

Stockach

On the banks of Lake Constance

With its mild, temperate climate, hardly any other region in Germany is quite as well suited to fruit growing. Surrounded my natural and pristine orchards, Dreher Group helps preserve this unique cultivated landscape.

  • 55,000 m² factory premises
  • 90 employees
  • 5 trainees
  • 3-shift operation
  • Carbon-neutral cold storage
The headquarters of the family company Dreher have been located at the heart of the fruit growing region of Lake Constance since 1978. From here, we produce:
  • NFC juices (opaque & clear)
  • Plant-based products
  • Concentrates
  • Purées
Organic versions are available for all of our products.
Using filtration, we can also produce clear NFC juices.

Koprzywnica

Sandomierz fruit-growing region

A few years ago, Dreher Group started production at its state-of-the-art factory in the small Polish town of Koprzywnica
in Świętokrzyskie province.

  • 60,000 m² factory premises
  • 45 employees
  • 3-shift operation

Similar to our main production facilities in Stockach on Lake Constance, in Poland we benefit from close proximity to our fruit suppliers for optimum efficiency and sustainability.

Following its official production start in 2017, apple NFC juice is now produced at our site in Koprzywnica.

Further growth is in the pipeline for this location with the upcoming launch of a concentrate production plant in 2024.
