Develey Sauce

Brand origin and history

Develey is a German condiment brand founded in Munich in 1845 by Johann Conrad Develey and has been run as a family-owned business into the fourth generation. The company built its reputation on mustard (including its original sweet Bavarian mustard) and later expanded into a broad range of sauces, dressings and fine foods. (develey.com)

Manufacturing and geographic footprint

Develey manufactures primarily in Germany and operates production and business locations across Europe (including sites established in Poland, France, Italy and Austria) while exporting to dozens of countries. The company opened a North American production site in Dyersburg, Tennessee (announced 2016/2017) to serve the U.S. market, but that Dyersburg manufacturing facility was sold to Newly Weds Foods in May 2025 as part of a strategic realignment; Develey continues to supply the U.S. market via distribution, brand management and co‑manufacturing partnerships.

Ownership and corporate structure

Develey remains a privately held German company (Develey Management GmbH / Develey Senf & Feinkost) under ownership and management of the Durach family. The group includes multiple historic regional mustard and condiment brands (for example Bautz'ner, Löwensenf, Mautner Markhof and others) and positions itself as an independent, family-managed European condiment producer.
