The history of Victor Schmidt.
On 1.1.1858 Victor Anton Schmidt obtained a license as a "maker of chocolate." The first factory was at Goldeggasse 6 (now Goldeggasse 29) in Vienna's 4th district.
Victor Schmidt quickly climbed the social ladder in Vienna. A man of many ideas, he tended to get involved in too many projects at the same time. It was partly because of this that he found himself in serious financial difficulties in 1864. The young company was threatened with bankruptcy. But as Victor Schmidt was known as a man of integrity and had not been negligent in the conduct of his affairs, he was able to reach an agreement with his creditors in 1865 with an extremely low settlement of 25 percent. It was still some years before the company flourished, but it then gained an international reputation.
On 12th November 1872 Victor's eldest son, Victor Ladislaus, joined the family business and the name under which the company had been registered in 1863 was changed to Victor Schmidt & Sohn. In 1884 the founder withdrew from active management and left the running of the company to his sons. Between 1880 and 1905, 800 to 1000 people worked at the factory in Wieden during the summer months.
In 1880 a branch of the company was established in Budapest that manufactured products similar to those of the mother company. The factory in Budapest was closed just before World War II. It was subsequently confiscated by the communist regime and never reopened.
The product range in those days comprised bars of chocolate, peppermints, spiced currant bread, fig coffee, various jams and pasta products. The only non-food product was gift soap.
The factory in the 4th district had already become too small before the outbreak of World War I, so in 1920 production was transferred to Simmering where the company manufactured chocolate products, confectionery and biscuits.
The company continued to expand after the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich in 1938. In 1939, Theodor Schmidt joined the company as managing director and it became an individually owned firm with three silent partners.
Although the company suffered very little war damage, production had to be ceased between 1944 and 1946 due to a lack of raw materials. In 1947 the first supplies of sugar, flour and fat were provided and Victor Schmidt was once again able to sell biscuits, and up to 1948 mustard, in exchange for ration vouchers.
After World War II the company increasingly focussed on the manufacture of fine chocolate products, pralines and Mozartkugel. With the help of radio and television advertising, Ildefonso was also successfully established on the Austrian market.
On 1st January 2000 Victor Schmidt & Sons was taken over by Manner.
