Rügenwalder Mühle Veganer Schinken Spicker Schnittlauch

Rügenwalder Mühle is a traditional German brand that has successfully transitioned from a meat-processing company into a leading provider of vegetarian and vegan food products. Originally founded in Pomerania in 1834, the company became famous for its 'Schinken Spicker' sausage. In 2014, it pioneered the plant-based market in Germany, and today, its vegan alternatives are staples in German grocery stores.

The brand's identity is deeply rooted in its mascot—the red windmill—symbolizing its long-standing heritage. In a significant strategic move in 2024, the family-owned company was acquired by Pfeifer & Langen, a major German food industry group. This acquisition was aimed at strengthening Rügenwalder Mühle's position in the rapidly growing market for plant-based proteins, backed by the industrial expertise and resources of the new parent company.
