Speciality

A leading classic retail grocery trader in Germany, Mestemacher specializes in pre-packaged Vollkornbrot - German-style dark wholegrain bread and other international varieties. These products are different from the conventional pre-packaged breads and baked items.[5]

Brief history

The history of Mestemacher began in 1871 when master shoemaker Johann Heinrich Mestemacher started a modest bakery factory in Gütersloh for his 20-year-old son Wilhelm, a master baker. After 35 years in the bakery business, in 1910, Wilhelm introduced a specialist bakery for pumpernickel.[5]
