A supposedly fresh vegetable in retail is only actually fresh for its respective harvest seasons. These usually only last a few weeks a year.

Vegetables in the stay-fresh can, which usually reach our production from the field within a day and are processed there with great care and made non-perishable using gentle processes, then don’t just seem like the more convenient alternative but often also the better alternative.

The stay-fresh can impresses with the following benefits:

• HEALTHY

  Canned foods provide healthy indulgence. They offer similarly high nutritional values to freshly prepared foods.

• SAVE

  Cans offer perfect protection without any compromises – whether it’s with transport, storage or on shop shelves.

• NON-PERISHABLE

  Cans preserve foods and valuable nutrients for an extremely long time – for three years at least.

• NATURAL

  Cans make foods naturally non-perishable without any preservatives.

• SUSTAINABLE

  Steel cans are recycling champions. They can be completely recycled – often endlessly.

We have been working according to the HACCP concept's principles since 2000.

In 2005 we were one of the first companies in our industry to achieve certification in accordance with the IFS (International Food Standard) and have continuously retained this worldwide recognised quality and management standard at the higher level since then in our annual audits.

Quality doesn’t just start at the company for us but with the careful selection of our partners and suppliers beforehand.

Straubinger Konserven- und Sauerkrautfabrik’s contract farming is conducted exclusively on the basis of the relevant certification systems in agriculture (Global Gap, geprüfte Qualität Bayern). We are always close to the origin thanks to our ties with local farmers.

IFS CERTIFICATE

Short distances – maximum freshness

Straubinger Konserven- und Sauerkrautfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is located in the middle of the Gäuboden region, which is well-known for its healthy and fertile arable land.

The moderate climate, good soil and efficient Gäuboden farmers provide the best prerequisites for good, reliable crop yields.

Europe’s largest coherent cucumber growing area has probably developed in Lower Bavaria over the last few decades for this reason too.

The shortest distances from the production of crops to processing are the ideal basis for making our tasty and high-quality food.

The close contacts with the primary production of vegetables guarantees constantly good quality and maximum freshness for processing. At the same time this avoids unnecessary environmental pollution due to long-distance transport. We manage our business holistically and sustainably.

Situated in the heart of Europe…

…this location is best placed strategically for our national and international business activities.

LIVED TRADITION

Where we come from … as only those with roots can bear fruits!

Our roots are in the traditional of Lower Bavaria’s Gäuboden region.

Alfons Buchner, founder of the Straubinger Konserven- und Sauerkrautfabrik factory, came from one of the region’s largest estates. His sound knowledge and basic understanding for his products’ main raw material grew with him from a young age.

He started preserving good regional crops in 1962. First of all he used rooms at an agricultural farmstead in his home village of Ittling near Straubing for this.

The first halls are already built in Straubing-Sand in the mid-1960s.

In 1971 he took the brave step to move to today’s location in Straubing-Sand. Where he had room to successfully develop his company.

The Straubing-Sand port was developed very close to us in the mid-1990s.

Thus confirming our good choice of location. Today we are in the middle of a prime developed industrial park with trimodal transport links. Situated close to the A3 and A92 motorways and still in the heart of our farming region.

Alfons Buchner’s daughter, Simone Buchner joins the company in 2001. Simone Buchner-Köck manages the solid family-run company with her husband Jochen Köck continuing the lived tradition.
