HISTORY
The roots of our success
The Jütro success story has its beginnings more than 100 years ago. On 1st May 1911, Richard Meyer and his wife Marie founded the Jütro cannery in Jüterbog. The finest long-life products have been canned and bottled there ever since, although the initial focus on forest fruits, mushrooms and cucumbers has shifted several times over the years and the current best-sellers are high-value gourmet items such as sauces, soups and stocks.
What started out as a small family-run business has had to weather many ups and downs, but despite the Second World War, temporary bankruptcy and expropriation, the factory has survived and prospered to this day.
Even though the first Jütro factory was founded a long time ago, we are still proud of our roots, and we look to the future, confident in our family values and our exceptionally high quality standards.
