The “CONDETTA Nährmittelfabrik” is founded in Dortmund. The company produces and distributes specialities for the confectionery and bakery industry.

CONDETTA becomes a member of the STORCK Group.

CONDETTA offers a broad range of products: chemical and pharmaceutical products, food and beverages as well as raw and auxiliary materials for the food industry are produced and distributed. Dry glucose, produced in its own production plants, and cocoa specialities are some of the main products.

Dr. Geert Andersen, a food technologist at the STORCK Group, develops the first stabilised cocoa powder. A small revolution in the field of milk-drinks – because from now on cocoa drinks can be made avoiding that the powder sediments.

The first base-mix for dairies is developed by CONDETTA and successfully introduced into the market. The company increasingly specialises on in products for the dairy industry, such as compounds for desserts and milk-drinks.

After its initial sucess in the dairy industry CONDETTA creates more products for this industry: jellies on the basis of the CONDETTA compounds extend the product portfolios of the dairies.

The possibility to fill puddings cold marks the beginning of a new dessert era. From now on CONDETTA base-mixes enable the production of multi-layered desserts on an industrial scale.

CONDETTA launches base-mixes in the market for the production of directly acidified fruit desserts – facilitating the production process for the dairies.

CONDETTA compounds are the basis for many creamy and soft desserts, ranging cream pudding – also lightly whipped – to mousse au chocolat. From now on all these desserts have become an indispensable characteristic of the dairy market.

Internationalisation is the buzzword of the year. For the first time in its history, CONDETTA introduces the production of kosher base-mixes.

The specialisation in the dairy industry was completed successfully – the dry glucose business is, therefore, ceased for good. CONDETTA moves into new production buildings within the STORCK premises.

CONDETTA expands its export business continuously and consistently. Meanwhile CONDETTA supplies compounds for the production of delicious desserts and milk-drinks to dairies almost all over Europe.

CONDETTA faces customer requirements and is successfully certified according to EN ISO 9001.

Moreover, CONDETTA develops effective stabilising systems for acidified dairy products.

Sustainability is essential for CONDETTA – and nonetheless the production of organic base-mixes. The successful bio-certification enables CONDETTA to supply compounds of organic quality with immediate effect.

The positive business developments of the last few years require the introduction of three-shift operation. From now on CONDETTA operates day and night.

CONDETTA successfully passes certifications according to the International Food Standard (IFS) and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and they are yet another proof of CONDETTA’s high standard of quality.

The recent developments require a 50 % expansion of the production area – new storage space ensures CONDETTA’s speed and flexibility.

Back to the roots: by establishing CONDETTA Basic Ingredients, CONDETTA launches a new business field. Raw materials for the entire food industry from cocoa to flavoured compounds round off the product portfolio.
