Jungbunzlauer states that it was founded in 1867. According to its history page, a young entrepreneur called Ignatz Lederer built a spirit distillery in the village of Jungbunzlau in the former Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). Through experimentation, Lederer discovered a way of distilling refined alcohol using the plentiful supplies of sugar beet in the area, producing molasses spirit of much higher quality than spirit made the traditional way from potatoes. He also used the distillery's residues to produce potassium carbonate, and the company grew rapidly, enabling Lederer to set up the 'Actiengesellschaft Jungbunzlauer Spiritus und Chemische Fabrik' corporation. In 1900, when Ignatz Lederer stepped down as head of the company, his three sons took over and relocated the headquarters of the business from Prague to Vienna. The brothers invested in the company and opened a second spirit distillery in Pernhofen, some 70 km north of Vienna in Austria. As a consequence of the Second World War and its aftermath, several activities were lost and nationalised in Eastern Europe, and the remaining parts of the company consisted of the activities in Austria. The company describes itself today as a family-owned company with more than 150 years of fermentation expertise.
