History
Etablissement René Neymann was founded in 1850 in Odratzheim by Salomon Neymann. In 1870, Salomon Neymann and his son, Benoit Neymann, moved to Wasselonne.[2] In 1930, the firm began to sell unleavened bread to the non-religious public. The production stopped during the Second World War, René Neymann restarted the company in 1948.[3]
Today, this company exports about 62% of its production.[4] It also produces some (between 20 and 30% of the production) organic goods.[citation needed]
