Südtirol Berge

From South Tyrol to the world

Launched as a pioneer in a niche market for Gluten Free products, today Dr. Schär is an expert in special nutritional needs with a global reach.

18 sites in 12 countries now make up the Dr. Schär Group.

Italy

South Tyrol is the home of Dr. Schär. The company headquarters has been in Burgstall near Merano since 1981. The central functions for all the areas of competence are based at the headquarters offices, which opened in 2017. The factory next door produces well-known products such as Schär's master baker's bread.
Another production site, whose employees specialize in the production and quality control of bread rolls, wraps, pizza dough and piadina has been located in nearby Laives since 2012. 
The Dr. Schär R&D Centre has found ideal conditions in Trieste, at the AREA Science Park.
 

Borgo Valsugana, in Trentino, is home to the former Gourmet Italia, acquired by Dr. Schär in 2013. The plant produces frozen ready meals. In 2015, the entire production area was expanded to include the Pizza Center for the production of gluten-free Schär pizza. Since 2018, bread and rolls have also been produced in a newly constructed building.

In 2006, the plant in Thuringia was put into operation, in the bell foundry town of Apolda. The employees produce Gluten Free bread and bread rolls from Schär for the international market.
