Company

Grow with the market
In the last 30 years, Pfeifer & Langen has built on its market position through the acquisition of sugar companies in the Rhineland and by adopting new production methods. In 1991, following the reunification of Germany, the company acquired shares in East German sugar companies through its subsidiary Diamant-Zucker KG. In 1993, one of the most modern sugar factories in Europe began operations in Könnern/Saxony-Anhalt. In the West, Pfeifer & Langen owns four sugar factories – the Appeldorn, Elsdorf, Euskirchen and Lage locations. Beyond that stakes in sugar factories in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia, Italia and Ukrania were acquired.
Sugar-sweet diversity
Kölner Zucker's product range is very diverse. Aside from the well-known sugar and rock candy specialities for the household, Pfeifer & Langen supplies a multitude of products to the manufacturing industry, e.g. refined sugars in different crystal sizes, brown sugar, bastard sugar, invert sugar syrup and sugar caramel syrup.
Efficient family enterprise
Pfeifer & Langen is an efficient family enterprise with 2028 employees and a turnover of 989,3 million Euro in 2008.
