Widerker Beverages GmbH
The Widerker Beverages GmbH, based in Stuttgart, has its main focus on the development, manufacture and distribution of high quality, exotic fruit nectars.
History
Martin Widerker laid the foundation for the Widerker Beverages GmbH (formerly: IMPEX - Import-Export GmbH) on a business trip to the People's Republic of China in 1971. On a banquet for international businessmen, he was served a pleasantly and refreshing tasting guava nectar. Mr. Widerker was very taken by this drink. When he returned to Germany, he began to manufacture the product in China, to import it to Germany and to distribute it directly to Asian restaurants and Asian grocery stores.
Initially Mr. Widerker produced and distributed the product as an individual trader. In 1985 the IMPEX - Import-Export GmbH was founded and this activity was transferred to its own division.
After the massacre at the Tiananmen Square in 1989, it became increasingly difficult to maintain reliable import from China. As a result, the company moved the production to Europe.
Today, the Widerker Beverages GmbH still produces exclusively within the EU.
