Schär Gluten-Free Food Products

Schär is a globally recognized leader in the gluten-free food sector, specializing in products tailored for individuals with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. The brand's history began in 1922 as a healthcare brand in South Tyrol, but it was revolutionized in 1981 when Ulrich Ladurner took over the company and pivoted exclusively toward high-quality gluten-free nutrition. Today, Schär offers a vast range of products including bread, pasta, snacks, and frozen meals.

Manufacturing for Schär products is strategically distributed across Europe and North America to ensure freshness and reach. The primary production facilities are located in Burgstall and Laives in Italy, but the company also operates dedicated gluten-free plants in Germany, Spain, and the United States. This regional production strategy allows the brand to maintain strict cross-contamination standards while serving as many as 100 different markets worldwide.

Ownership of the brand remains private and independent. Schär is the flagship brand of Dr. Schär AG / SPA, which is still a family-owned enterprise headquartered in South Tyrol, Italy. The company has maintained its autonomy for decades, resisting the common industry trend of being acquired by major multinational food conglomerates, which allows them to focus exclusively on the specific nutritional requirements of the gluten-free community.
