Sadex leaves Winnenden: Cult brand moves to Bernburg!

Winnenden, Deutschland - sadex closes the production in Winnenden and relocates it to Bernburg in Saxony-Anhalt. The company, which has been based in Winnenden since 1951, ended the production of its well -known shower sticks due to financial difficulties. These difficulties resulted in rising sugar prices and the loss of important trading partners.

sadex was originally founded by Fritz Sattler, who previously sold glucose tablets. The shower sticks, which were introduced as a children's cigarette in 1951, remained the main product of the company. After bankruptcy, Top Sweets GmbH from Nordkirchen took over the company. 16 jobs could be preserved. Last year Sadex was sold to Wohlgemut Sweibarten GmbH from Bernburg.
