The history of Langnese Honig, a company with long-standing tradition, began in 1925. It was a day in early summer when the young importer Karl Rolf Seyferth purchased 5,000 kg of California honey at the Hamburg Exchange. A spontaneous decision – because up until that point, the manager of the ‟Deutsch-Chinesische Eiprodukten Gesellschaft” (German-Chinese egg products company) had not dealt in honey at all. Against all expectations – and after some initial setbacks – business began to flourish and demand increased. What began as an impulsive act at the Exchange developed into a flourishing honey trade after only two years.
