At Reuss, we manufacture a wide variety of sweet spreads, fillings for confectionery, ice cream toppings, and dessert sauces at our production sites in Berlin, Winsen (Luhe), and Roosendaal in the Netherlands for both the domestic and international markets. The number of our recipes and the technology required to manufacture these diverse products is correspondingly extensive.
We are looking to hire, as soon as possible, employees for our Berlin or Winsen locations who identify with our values and philosophy—particularly regarding quality—who value working independently and collaboratively within a team, and who handle the autonomy granted to them responsibly.
