Stockmeyer

Stockmeyer is a German sausage maker from Sassenberg-Füchtorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, known for its Edel-Salami and Teewurst. Westfälische Fleischwarenfabrik Stockmeyer GmbH was founded in 1913 and belongs to heristo aktiengesellschaft. Much of its raw sausage is made for retailers as private label, so the Stockmeyer name itself sits on only two flagship products.

Heinrich and Lina Stockmeyer acquired a trading house in Versmold in 1913. After 1945 the second generation, Werner Stockmeyer and Liselotte Risken-Stockmeyer, led the firm; vacuum-packed pre-sliced sausage came in the 1960s and the Füchtorf plant in 1973.

At Füchtorf the producer makes about 53,000 tonnes a year of raw sausage, Brühwurst, cooked sausage and cured goods, without splitting the figure. Its own products include the «Echte Stockmeyer Edel-Salami» and «Original Stockmeyer Teewurst» and, according to Open Food Facts, pepper, gourmet, baguette, cheese and chorizo salami, Sommerwurst and Gutsmettwurst. The producer says its raw sausages need no refrigeration. No PDO or PGI is stated.

Unlike Wiltmann, whose range is almost all salami, Stockmeyer also makes cooked sausage and cured goods in volume and works largely as a supplier to retailers and discounters. Its own-brand flagships are Edel-Salami and Teewurst, the latter a spreadable raw-type sausage rather than a sliceable salami.

On the pack the wording is «Stockmeyer – Deutsche Markenwurst». Formats are self-service sliced trays of 80 to 150 g and whole salami sticks. Because much of the output is private label, products from the same maker can also carry a retailer's own label.
