Lambertz Aachener Printen

Lambertz is one of the oldest and most prestigious confectionery brands in Germany, founded in 1688 in Aachen. The brand is synonymous with 'Aachener Printen', a specific type of spiced gingerbread that is protected by a European designation of origin. Lambertz products are primarily manufactured in Germany at several specialized facilities, including their historic headquarters in Aachen. The company remains a private, family-owned enterprise led by long-term owner Dr. Hermann Bühlbecker, maintaining its independence and commitment to traditional baking methods. It has grown from a small bakery into a global player in the biscuit industry, exporting products worldwide while keeping its production and strategic center in Germany.
