The HEIMBURGER Company was created by the baker Robert HEIMBURGER, who was born in Marlenheim (Alsace) in 1910. In 1933, he set up a bakery in Sarreguemines (Lorraine). He made bread and bakery, of course, but also pasta with eggs which he used to dry in his oven.

During the 40’s, he decided to go back to Marlenheim in order to develop his pasta production: first with a simple pasta machine, and a bit later by setting up his own factory between 1946 and 1947.

Then he chose his first commercial trademark: la Colombe (the dove), which symbolizes peace and pureness.

The HEIMBURGER Company is one of the last family firms producing pasta to be still independent. It is also the last one which keeps producing spätzle in France.
With 90 employees, we are still based in Marlenheim and we produce around 13,000 tons of pasta a year. We keep using the traditional recipe with 7 fresh eggs per kilo of superior durum wheat semolina to make our Grand’Mère pasta.

Grand’Mère pasta, 7 fresh eggs per kilo of superior durum wheat semolina, was born in 1971. Since then, Grand’Mère is the main trademark of the HEIMBURGER Company.

In 1979, Robert HEIMBURGER, the founder’s son, took the lead of the family company after having assisted his father for about twenty years. Under his leadership, the company’s production capacity intensified. Robert HEIMBURGER Jr. retired in 1998, leaving the direction to his wife Hélène HEIMBURGER, and to his two sons, Robert and Philippe.

It is therefore with a strong family mind that the HEIMBURGER Company keeps going forward since it has been created. Its catchphrase is: “family mind, tradition and quality”.

Today, Hélène HEIMBURGER is President of the Supervising Council. Robert and Philippe are respectively sales manager and technical manager.
