About Us

Gut Springenheide is a traditional German family business which is owned and operated by Rudolf Tusky and his family. The company dates back six generations to 1844, when the family began as chicken farmers in the Münsterland, in northwest Germany.

Through the years, Gut Springenheide grew in stature in the agricultural industry, producing not just eggs but a variety of prepared foods such as crème brulee, egg savoury millefeuille, and ready-to-cook egg specialties. With their unmatched expertise they continue to set world standards in the advanced processing of eggs, both in and out of their natural shell.

The Tusky family's uncompromising commitment to product quality and performance at the highest standards has made them the world leader in their numerous specialties with business interests in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Near East.

Now they own not only a handsome family estate on the site of the original family chicken farm, but also an ultra-modern factory surmounted by a giant golden egg, the symbol of quality and elegance.

Gut Springenheide's real egg shells filled with fine chocolate are distributed in North America by The Sweetique, a U.S.-headquartered company with a combined six decades of experience in upscale confectionery. The Sweetique takes pride and satisfaction in being different yet professional, unique yet appealing, exclusive yet affordable.

These expert confectioners have joined forces to bring the best, most unusual, and the most fun custom chocolates to North America.
