Former biscuit factory - are you ready to breathe new life into it?
The former biscuit factory in Entlebuch was founded in 1907 by brothers Otto and Siegfried Bucher. During World War II, Walter and Josef Bucher expanded the factory to increase independence from suppliers and create 30 jobs. The product range included gingerbread, honey nuts, treats, waffles, and the popular whole-grain biscuits, which became established bestsellers. Production ceased in 1960.
