Schwartauer Werke[1] (colloquially Schwartauer) is a German food manufacturing company headquartered in Bad Schwartau, Germany. Founded in 1899 it manufactures jams, spreads, dessert products, sirups and muesli and protein bars. The then destitute company was inherited by Ursula Oetker of the Oetker family and later, under the management of her son Arend Oetker, turned into a market leader.[2] Since 2002, Schwartauer was integrated into Hero Group (which is owned by Dr. Arend Oetker Holding GmbH & Co KG).[3]
