It all started with gourmet foods. In 1997, Dieter Walter founded the company, initially operating under the name "Delikates frisch abgefüllt." During the first five years, the focus was exclusively on selling gourmet products in their own stores.

From 2004, a new field was added: In the area of gifts and contract filling, our company initially specialized in the promotional products sector, before chocolate spreads were added alongside the filling of oils, vinegars, and spirits.

This additional, sweeter business was intended to become increasingly established, which is why, from 2009 onwards, the company decided to fully dedicate itself to contract filling and contract packaging.

Gradually, various in-house creations were added, such as Asian rice snack mixes and gummy bears dressed in chocolate. This experimental flavor combination quickly became a customer favorite. Shortly thereafter, production of handmade truffles and pralines began.

Since the 2010s, these products have been distributed independently across various confectioneries and gourmet stores nationwide.

"Chocolate and the many possibilities it offers in filling and creation were quickly discovered – this fit perfectly from the very beginning."

In the meantime, Simon Walter, the founder's son, decided to take over the company and continue to develop and expand it. After completing his training as a confectionery technologist and further education as a certified technical business specialist, and gaining professional experience in the confectionery and food industry, he was ready for the company handover.

In 2018, the official handover to the son took place, and the company was renamed and became "Delikates Manufaktur."

In 2022, the company once again expanded its scope of activities and launched the private-label brand "Delikates Manufaktur" for the retail food sector, thus completing the circle from production to distribution. Under the motto: "We make gourmet delights, of course, with chocolate."

From 2026 onwards, we aim to further expand our product range, create new taste experiences, and make our processes more sustainable. With state-of-the-art technology, creative ideas, and a focus on quality, Delikates Manufaktur will continue to offer enjoyment for all the senses – both nationally and internationally.
