Company Description
Founded in 1865, Gebrüder Josef & Matthäus Ziegler GmbH (“Ziegler”) is a leading German brand and producer of high-end spirits as well as aperitif products. Traditionally well-known for its high-quality fruit brandies, the company’s product portfolio today also includes several contemporary premium brands in adjacent product categories such as whisky, gin and aperitifs.
Ziegler has a diverse and blue-chip customer base including leading retail groups in Germany (e.g., Metro, Edeka) as well as upscale gastronomy. Customers are addressed via various sales channels, especially grocery retail, cash-and-carry, and wholesale.
Ziegler maintains various strategic product partnerships with acclaimed companies and brands, among others the co-created “Ziegler Avionic”, the new official Lufthansa aperitif which is available on all flights and in the airline’s lounges.


"With the deep knowledge of our distillers and the unwavering joy of tomorrow, we challenge ourselves every day: Once Ziegler was served in the best houses in Europe, today Ziegler is also served 20,000 miles above the sea - in a Lufthansa flight. Ziegler used to be the drink for afterwards, today it's the drink for the middle of the day. And we have only just begun to reinvent ourselves."
