1972 – Ulrich Bauer
Ulrich Bauer is the father of the two managing directors. But Ulrich Bauer is actually the father of "Der Große Bauer", the company's successful product that still defines the fruit yoghurt market today - and has done so since 1975. He was also the one who set the course for the successful partnership with Mövenpick, for whom yoghurt products have been produced and marketed since 1994. It was also under his leadership that the Bauerschweizer company was transformed into J. Bauer KG.

BAUER FAMILY BUSINESS
1887 – Franz Seraph Bauer
On August 18, 1887, Franz Seraph Bauer founds the company "Bauerschweizer Käsewerk" in Wasserburg am Inn. On the same day, he and Anna Maria Lux get married. After the wedding, Franz Seraph began working for the company as a "Schweizer". At the time, "Schweizer" was the name given to the people who looked after the so-called dairy cattle, caring for them and milking them.
Initially, Limburger and curd cheese were produced. In addition to the business in the old town of Wasserburg, a market is rented where eggs, butter, lard, curd cheese, pasta and bought-in cheeses are traded.
