HISTORY
The roots
of our success
Although the success story of Jütro TKK actually began with the founding of the former Jütro Frost GmbH on 1st July 1991, our roots actually go back more than 100 years to 1st May in 1911 when Richard Meyer and his wife Marie founded the Jütro cannery in Jüterbog.
The finest produce has been canned and boxed there ever since, although the initial focus on forest fruits, mushrooms and cucumbers has shifted several times over the years and the current best-sellers are high-value delicatessen items such as sauces, soups and stocks.
This small family business has had its ups and downs but has managed to survive the Second World War and difficult periods of bankruptcy and state expropriation. The Meyers have remained loyal to their company and their employees right through to the current fourth generation.
Conscious of the family tradition, Michael Meyer, son of the successful industrialist Bernd-Richard Meyer, took over the management of the newly founded Jütro Tiefkühlkost Fabrik in 1996. As an independent company, it specialises in freezer technology and today supplies customers throughout Germany and Europe with the finest fruit and vegetable assortments as well as high-quality ready meals.
The first Jütro factory was established more than a century ago, and we at Jütro are proud of our heritage. The company is still owner-managed, is still invested with family values and is carrying forward its customary high quality standards into the future.
