HWB Nusswelt GmbH in Husum joins the Moll family. The Mollians are optimizing their processes in order to remain sustainable. An external service provider supports Moll in achieving CO₂ neutrality.

Corona was the buzzword of the year in 2020 – but Moll has rocked the crisis! Managing Director Armin Seitz said: “I am proud of what this company is currently achieving!” And that was no empty phrase, because Moll stood together like never before in these difficult times!

New Work was introduced at Moll, trust-based working hours conjured up happy faces and many employees took part in an extraordinary health promotion project.

A TV campaign attracted new employees and the Moll Cup became a highlight of the year. Thanks to the young confectioners’ competition initiated once again by Moll, the Moll team found itself between Hulk, Batman and Wonderwoman! Who would have thought that superheroes are part of everyday life at Moll?

In 2017, Moll’s marzipan lace will be enhanced by a new succession plan.
German investors from the food industry will continue to ensure a sweet future for
a sweet future for Moll’s production.

This year, we have dedicated ourselves to energy. In addition to the photovoltaic system on the roof, we have also implemented energy certification. It is proving to be a great project sooner than expected and is also inspiring employees, even if it only cools things down a little.

Sport unites and gives strength. 14 of our 88 employees are preparing for the Berlin Marathon with joint running groups and training sessions. A success, of course!

Employees are the heart of the company. Finding employees is easy, but inspiring and retaining employees means work. We received the award for this in the SME category for up to 99 employees and we earned it with sport, hard work and dedication.

Moll’s company history took a happy turn when the entire business operations of Moll Marzipan GmbH were taken over by Dr. Armin Seitz and Ken Turnbull (in cooperation with an English family investment company). With their expertise, they make Moll Marzipan fit for the 21st century (to this day!).

Our subsidiary in Bulancak was leased to a Turkish hazelnut manufacturer.

Moll Marzipan GmbH is founded as a subsidiary of Schwartau Food Ingredients GmbH. Innovation and quality become the new Moll Marzipan GmbH’s business tradition. Marzipan lovers in Berlin and beyond are delighted with this coup.

In 1998, Moll Marzipan merged with Rösch & Eggers from Hamburg – they became the Rösch & Moll Group. The company, which specialized in oilseeds, not only brought Moll new business, but also the right colleagues for the start of a strong, joint future. The merger added the subsidiary BFS, which is based in Bulancak on the Black Sea coast of Turkey.

After many years at the helm of marzipan, Georg Moll went into well-deserved retirement in 1965. Sales representative Günther Hoffmann took over the helm and brought a breath of fresh air to marzipan production. In 1976, Günther Hoffmann bought a modern factory building in the south of Berlin and moved into the current factory building a year later.

The factory was destroyed during the war and the property was expropriated in 1945.
Georg Moll rebuilt the GEORG MOLL marzipan factory in the free part of Berlin in 1946.

Despite the difficult circumstances, he did not let them get him down – even then, drive and joy were among the core values of the company.

After Hugo Moll’s death, his only son Georg Moll becomes company owner – he has been indispensable in the company since 1918.

Rudolf Moll, the inventor of steamed marzipan paste, passed away. The “roasting kettle” he invented was a milestone and the starting signal for the industrial production of marzipan paste. The products of his inventions are still on everyone’s lips today.

Rudolf’s son Hugo founded the Berlin Marzipan Mass Factory – BMF. BMF supplied the regions of Brandenburg, Saxony, Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia. The marzipan blood continued to flow through the Moll family.

Rudolf Moll has now become a well-known marzipan expert. Competitors were interested in his inventions and advice.

He began to further modernize marzipan production and focused on innovation.

Schwedter Straße in Berlin is another stop on our marzipan journey. This is where our first marzipan factory in the capital, called Weiß & Moll, was established.

Rudolf Moll possessed many Prussian qualities such as punctuality, politeness and a love of order. This not only predestined him to conquer the world of marzipan, but also earned him the so-called “Heimathschein”. This documents that Rudolf Moll has “the quality of a Prussian”. The following is known about the creation of the first raw marzipan factory: “It seems,” writes Christa Pieske in “Marzipan aus Lübeck” (LN-Verlag Lübeck), “that it was master confectioner Rudolf Moll from Lübeck who founded the first raw marzipan factory in Altona near Hamburg in 1866.”

The prominent Lübeck master confectioner Heinrich Meyer, known for his miniature marzipan sculptures, only confirmed Rudolf Moll’s apprenticeship from 1847-1852 and his time as a journeyman with him (1853-1856) in Lübeck on March 21, 1865. Rudolf Moll’s talent and his passion for quality marzipan marked the beginning of a career as a sweet manufacturer.

Just one year later, Moll supplied marzipan to King Wilhelm I of Prussia and sculpted the royal Prussian family in marzipan. The royal family was delighted with this confectioner’s skill and awarded him a medal of merit for art and science. From then on, Rudolf Moll was a welcome guest in the royal kitchen in Berlin.

Our namesake Rudolf Moll passed his master confectioner’s examination on January 13, 1860 after a five-year apprenticeship as a confectioner and three years as a journeyman in his native city of Lübeck. He set up his own business in the same year. His enthusiasm for marzipan ignited the sweet fire that still burns today. And so began our irresistible marzipan journey. His master craftsman’s certificate is still in the Moll collection today.
