Hauswirth Heuscher

Hauswirth, known for its sub-brand Heuscher, is a traditional Austrian confectionery manufacturer founded in 1949 by Franz Hauswirth. The company specializes in seasonal chocolate products, most notably hollow chocolate figurines and chocolate-covered jellies or fruit.

Historically, the brand remains a family-owned enterprise based in Kittsee, Austria. The production is centralized at their primary facility in Burgenland, ensuring that historical quality standards and local heritage are maintained. As of 2026, the company continues to operate as a prominent independent player in the European chocolate market, avoiding acquisition by larger multinational conglomerates.
