Niederegger Raises Prices 10% as Christmas Production Ramps Up

The Lübeck maker cites a U.S. tariff dispute plus booming almond demand for the increase.

Overview

  • Christmas production began in mid-August with goods initially destined for the United States.
  • The company is now producing for Germany and Europe and expects daily output of roughly 30 tonnes through February.
  • Niederegger employs about 500 permanent staff plus up to 150 seasonal workers, with roughly half of annual sales earned at Christmas.
  • The holiday lineup includes marzipan loaves, hearts, pastes, stars, Santa figures, and an Advent calendar with 32 doors that extends to New Year.
  • After the holidays, production shifts to Easter items shortly after New Year.
