- The founding date of his company was June 2nd, 1980: That was the day when Gottfried Pfitscher began his one-man enterprise, producing traditional speck on his farm. -The family still sees a lot of growth potential for the export market. Pfitscher exports to a number of countries, including Europe, Japan, Korea, China, India, North Africa and South Africa, and their turnover has doubled in the last few years. -The company also delivers to delicatessens, wholesalers, small supermarket chains and importers: Ultimately, this is a special, niche product of a certain quality, and should be valued as such. -Quality does not comprise only freshness and impeccable health and safety standards, but also a traditional production technique, and the patience to cure the product slowly.
