5. History
1920 Foundation of the “Conservierungssalz-Fabrik Gewürzmühle A. & F. Lay”.
With only 2 man staff, the young enterprisers August and Friedrich Lay imported seasonings and produced preservatives, nitrite curing salts and
their first mix of seasonings in the so called “Lindesmühle”.
1928 Renaming the enterprise as “Conservierungssalz-Fabrik Gewürzmühle
Gebrüder Lay”.
Thanks to the addition of the 2 younger brothers Karl and Herman, the company was strengthened and received a new name, one which remained
synonymous with the best seasonings and spice products from Bad Kissingen
