Launched in 1992 as a joint venture between GOLDSTEIG Käserei Plattling eG and the producers’ association Molkereigenossenschaft Cham eG, GOLDSTEIG Käsereien Bayerwald GmbH went on to become, amongst other things, Germany’s most sought-after producer of mozzarella and an exporter to almost all European countries.

It was only through expertise and efficiency, combined with the highest product quality and absolute reliability, that this rapid rise was achieved. Since GOLDSTEIG’s foundation, the company has successfully met the challenges of the European and international markets with flexibility, dynamism and expansion.

Thus, the merger with Ostbayrische Milchwerke eG in 1998 enabled the product range to be expanded to include semi-hard cheeses, and in 2000 GOLDSTEIG merged with Milchwerk Straubing eG. Thanks to GOLDSTEIG’s performance and determination, the product range now extends from mozzarella, Emmental and sliced cheese to Limburger, as well as butter, ricotta and mascarpone.

In 2006, a fully automated hard and semi-hard cheese production facility was established in Cham, meeting the highest quality requirements and standards. A computer-controlled high-bay warehouse not only ensures optimal storage and order picking, but also guarantees that GOLDSTEIG products always reach customers fresh.

In an effort to further increase efficiency and remain at the forefront of technology, a state-of-the-art cheese processing centre (KVZ) was commissioned in a new building in 2012. As part of this expansion, the high-bay warehouse system was also comprehensively modernised and expanded to optimise storage capacity and further streamline 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 in 2022 by the commissioning of the new butter production facility at the Stephansposching plant. This state-of-the-art facility enables GOLDSTEIG to meet the rising demand for high-quality butter and to further consolidate its own product range in this segment.
