Pfitscher developed from a small one-man business into an internationally established brand.

Speck from Burgstall/Postal

Gottfried Pfitscher started out as a one-man business in 1980, producing speck in simple premises on a farm in Meran/Merano. With growing success and increasing demand, years of expansion and reorganisation followed.

A decisive step was the acquisition of a business in Burgstall in 2000, including all the employees. Since then, Pfitscher has focussed entirely on production at its current location. Direct sales complement the concept. From an initial production of a few hams per week, a family business has developed that now supplies customers in Europe, Asia and Africa - without losing sight of its roots.

Quality, responsibility, sustainability

Traditional production, long maturing times and consistently sustainable operations characterise the speck from Pfitscher.

The quality of Speck Alto Adige from Pfitscher is based on careful processing, controlled maturing processes and the conscious decision to carefully control growth. In addition to freshness and hygiene, slow maturing plays a central role in flavour and structure.

At the same time, the company has been pursuing a comprehensive sustainability strategy for years: green electricity from hydropower and its own photovoltaic system, heating and hot water using wood from the region, efficient heat recovery and resource-saving refrigeration technology. Packaging has been significantly reduced, plastic saved and compostable labels introduced. The aim remains to harmonise quality, environmental responsibility and reliable service in the long term.
