How it all started

OUR HISTORY

Mainz, 1903

MOGUNTIA is founded in 1903

In the early 1900s, Friedrich Buchholz, a skilled butcher, embarked on a visionary endeavour by establishing a spice mill in Mainz, Germany, which he aptly named MOGUNTIA. The name itself carries a historical significance, harking back to the ancient times of Mogontiacum, a Roman camp located at the confluence of the Main River, where the Roman Empire engaged in spice trading with the Germanic tribes.

Takeover of India Spices by the MOGUNTIA FOOD GROUP

In 1975, MOGUNTIA took over India Gewürze (later known as Indasia Gewürzwerk) at the Georgsmarienhütte location. This strategic move allowed MOGUNTIA to develop an offering of liquid products, such as marinades and seasoning oils, with the Georgsmarienhütte site becoming a specialized centre of excellence.
