Our customers benefit from
more than 150 years of experience

Back in 1856, Johann Peter Ruckdeschel, master baker and homebrewer, founded a malthouse in the German town of Kulmbach, and very soon IREKS malt became a byword for quality.

A wealth of experience with cereals, the basic raw materials, plus expertise in the art of baking, led to major successes in the company's subsequent history:

1900: Development of the world's first malt-based, diastatic improver in flour form - MILLIOSE, which enabled bakeries to economically achieve a better, uniform product standard.

1930: Manufacture of the first modern dough acidifying agent: IREKS-FERTIGSAUER.

Both products set new standards in the bakery trade. These early achievements make it an obligation for us to continue the tradition today. A tradition which is documented in the name of our family-owned company:

IREKS = Johann Ruckdeschel Et Söhne, Kulmbach (Germany).
