Family business
with tradition

Our history goes back over a century and has gone through major changes such as world wars, economic miracles and crises. As a witness to these events, we have continued to evolve and are always ready for new challenges.

Product diversity, competent employees and a tight logistic system with short response times are just a few aspects that characterize the company. With over 12,000 products, we provide a broad assortment that is regularly updated to match with current trends. Due to our optimized logistic processes, we can deliver orders of Austrian retailers within 2 workdays.

As the third-largest supplier of tobacco products supplier in Austria, we cover 15% of all cigarettes and 35% of all fine-cut tobacco. However, we are more than just tobacco. We are also pioneers in Next-Generation products such as e-cigarettes, liquids, and nicotine pouches. Products of Moosmayr can be found in over 5.000 tobacco shops in Austria alone.

Our business relationships extend from Hofkirchen across the entire EU to South Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our goal is to offer high-quality products at the best prices to maximize customer satisfaction.

Hofkirchen an der Trattnach has been the headquarter of the company since 2008. With an area of 30.000 m2, ongoing renovations and digitalization, we are ideally positioned for the future. In 2021, with an investment of 12 million euros, a high-bay warehouse with up to 6,400 pallet spaces and a CUBY shuttle warehouse with up to 16,000 container has been added.
