Herta is a brand of pre-cooked Frankfurters, owned by Nestlé (40%) and Catalan-based Casa Tarradellas (60%).
[3] Ludwig Schweisfurth opened a butcher shop in the German town of Herten, from where the name Herta originates, in 1902.
This local shop flourished and grew into a factory.
By 1963, Herta had spread across Europe, and was sold to Nestlé by Karl Ludwig Schweisfurth in 1986.
In December 2019, Nestlé announced that they had sold 60% of their shares to Casa Tarradellas.
