efko Schlemmer Gurken

efko Schlemmer Gurken are a popular line of pickled gherkins produced by the Austrian company efko (Eferdinger Kostbarkeiten). Established in 1941 in the Eferding Basin of Upper Austria, the brand has grown to be the country's leading fruit and vegetable processor. The products are primarily manufactured in Austria, utilizing regional raw materials from local farmers in the Eferding region.

The brand is owned by the efko Group, which operates as a significant cooperative and industrial entity. The ultimate ownership structure involves several key Austrian agricultural and investment stakeholders, including the Raiffeisenverband OÖ through the efko Frischfrucht und Delikatessen GmbH. It remains a cornerstone of the Austrian food industry, maintaining a strong focus on regionality and traditional preservation methods.
