Today, in 2021, JOSERA celebrates its 80th anniversary with 80 years of experiences in animal nutrition.

In 2019, we have been supporting worldwide aid projects with our foundation for 30 years.

Since 2012, JOSERA has had a biobed for biological waste gas purification. With the help of the biological cleaning concept, which is based on microorganisms, it is possible to sustainably clean the entire exhaust air from animal feed production. Therefore, the Erbacher Group was awarded the Climate Protection Prize 2013 for "special activities in climate and environmental protection" by the nature conservation organization Bund Naturschutz in Miltenberg.

The decisive factors were the high-bay warehouse made from regional, renewable raw materials, the increasing raw material deliveries by rail and the exemplary energy management system.

The JOSERA laboratory has been in existence since 2012. It scrutinizes both raw materials and finished goods using state-of-the-art, high-precision technology. The analytical equipment delivers precise measurement results. Independent, state-commissioned auditors formally confirm the highest standards for the JOSERA laboratory with laboratory accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025. ISO/IEC 17025 is the global quality standard for testing laboratories. The Agricultural Testing and Research Institutes (LUFA) are also accredited according to this standard.

In 2009, JOSERA is expanding its private rail siding. As a result, 45,000 tons of raw materials are transported by rail instead of road each year. The company thus avoids around 4,000 truck transports annually, which means considerable relief for roads, residents, and the environment.

Exports to Poland and other Eastern European countries have increased significantly over the years. JOSERA responds to the growing demand by building a modern feed plant inNowy Tomyśl, Poland in 2008. JOSERA continues to expand and establishes a sales company in Ukraine.

2006 Joseph Erbacher handed over the management of the company to his sons Frank and Burkard Erbacher. JOSERA is awarded the honorary certificate for 50 years of membership in the DLG. This confirms JOSERA's continuous innovative strength and the quality leadership of JOSERA products and technical advice.

In 2005 JOSERA gets the certification as an EMAS company. As an EMAS-certified company, JOSERA commits itself to the continuous improvement of the operating environment.

The JOSERA quality guarantee stands for the highest product and process quality. Thus, JOSERA is one of the first companies in the agricultural sector to be certified according to QS (Quality and Safety) in 2002. Further certifications according to DIN ISO 9001 and HACCP followed shortly after.

The JOSERA quality guarantee has always ensured the use of flawless, high-quality raw materials. JOSERA focuses on transparency and takes a leading role in the open declaration of products. While the feed regulation allows the semi-open declaration of products, where all ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, JOSERA lists all raw materials with percentages in 2000.

JOSERA founded the sales subsidiary JOSERA Polska in Poland in 1999. In the meantime, the JOSERA agricultural and pet food products are distributed in many European countries.

We have been working with biological silage additives - mainly homofermentative bacterial products - since the beginning of the 90s. We also started with the branded product "Josilac". Since then, we have greatly expanded this area.

Silage inoculants are an essential input for our mineral feed customers and round off our range for forward-looking dairy farmers. High-quality basic feed is the foundation of successful feeding.

1988 – Beginning of the JOSERA petfood lineIn 1988, JOSERA enters the pet food market. Knowledge and decades of experience from agriculture are incorporated into the new product line for healthy pet food. Since then, the JOSERA Pet food line is continuously expanded and improved, making JOSERA pet food one of the leading pet food brands in Europe.

1989 – Establishment of the ERBACHER-FOUNDATIONIn 1989, the Erbacher family founded the ERBACHER-FOUNDATION. It supports development projects in rural areas in more than 30 countries around the world. The projects aim to improve animal husbandry, horticulture and drinking water supplies as well as human nutrition. In addition, they promote environmental and climate protection.

Not even twenty years after the second factory was built, the capacity of it was too limited. Therefore, Joseph Erbacher acquired a large plot of land in the Kleinheubach industrial area in 1980. It offers potential for further expansion projects. In the following years, the company grew continuously. In addition to the new agricultural production facility, a new laboratory, a technical center, and a new administration building are built. Meanwhile, more than 500 retailers in Germany distribute the JOSERA products.

Since JOSERA imposes the highest research and technology standards on itself B vitamins were successfully introduced in the cattle feeds in 1972. With this step, JOSERA was the first company to have B-Vitamins in order to stabilize the metabolism and promote fertility.

Joseph Erbacher Junior takes over the management of JOSERA at the age of 29 after the death of his father Joseph Erbacher Senior in 1969.

Over the years, the JOSERA brand became well-known amongst livestock farmers and stands for healthy and fertile animals. The increasing demand for animal feed required a new factory building, which is built in the center of Kleinheubach in 1963.

In 1941, Joseph and Pauline Erbacher built a small factory in Weilbach, a small suburban village near Frankfurt am Main. The factory produced feed lime, which was the precursor of today's mineral feed.
