About us

The H. Heydt private corn liquor distillery is one of Germany’s most tradition-rich producers of liqueurs and spirits. This medium-sized family business of rural origin was founded in 1860 in Haselünne, in Germany’s Emsland region. The company’s portfolio now includes several successful traditional brands from the clear-spirit sector - along with herbal liqueurs, light fruit-based liqueurs and trend-setting vodka mixer drinks.

We always endeavour to match the consumer’s taste. Enjoyment and flavour are the focal points of our activities. Consistent quality, genuine character and a willingness to innovate are the hallmarks of the company, which provide a guarantee of successful trading for customers and suppliers alike.

A policy of strict, fully-documented quality control is another factor contributing to the success of the Heydt corn schnapps distillery. The range of certifications held attests to the role of Heydt as a leader in its sector.

A further pillar of this success is formed by the company’s forward-looking approach to marketing. The acquisition of the company and brand-name rights to Schinkenhäger, Wippermann, Ammerländer and Hullmann has allowed Heydt to widen its brand-portfolio to include further traditional spirits and liqueurs from Germany’s local regions.
