Launched in 1992 as a joint venture between GOLDSTEIG Käserei Plattling eG and Molkereigenossenschaft Cham, GOLDSTEIG Käsereien Bayerwald GmbH has developed into Germany's most sought-after producer of mozzarella and an exporter to almost all European countries.

This rapid rise could only be realised through competence and efficiency, combined with the highest product quality and absolute reliability. Since GOLDSTEIG was founded, the company has successfully met the challenges of the European and international market with flexibility, dynamism and expansion.

The merger with Ostbayrische Milchwerke eG in 1998 expanded the product segment to include sliced cheese, and in 2000 GOLDSTEIG merged with the Straubing dairy co-operative. Thanks to GOLDSTEIG's performance and determination, the product range today extends from mozzarella, Emmental, semi-hard cheese and Limburger to butter, ricotta and mascarpone.

In 2006, a fully automated hard and semi-hard cheese dairy was built in Cham, which fulfils the highest quality requirements and standards. A computer-controlled high-bay warehouse not only ensures optimum storage and order picking, but also that GOLDSTEIG products always reach customers fresh.

In an effort to further increase efficiency and stay at the forefront of technology, a state-of-the-art cheese processing centre (CPC) was commissioned in a new building in 2012. As part of this expansion, a comprehensive modernisation and expansion of the high-bay warehouse technology was also carried out in order to optimise storage capacities and further accelerate logistics.

Another milestone in the company's development was the commissioning of the new plant in Stephansposching in 2018. This strategic expansion enabled GOLDSTEIG to increase its production capacity for skimmed milk concentrate and cream, further strengthening the company's value chain.

This was followed by the commissioning of the new butter churn at the Stephansposching plant in 2022. This state-of-the-art facility enables GOLDSTEIG to meet the growing demand for high-quality butter and further consolidate its own product range in this segment.
