About us
"Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the passing on of fire."
Jean Jaurès
What began many years ago as a mobile contract distillery has developed into the commercial production of fine distillates since 1983 under the management of Urs Hecht.
His son, Elias Hecht, has been at the helm of Gunzwiler Destillate Urs Hecht AG since 2025. In the fourth generation. With finesse and vision, a clear line and high goals.
Only Swiss fruit from regional producers is processed. Everything from our own hands: production and sales store in Gunzwil, Canton Lucerne. Distillery, fruit warehouse and maturing cellar under one roof - in a wooden building, of course.
Gunzwiler Destillate Urs Hecht AG, a genuine family business. Elias Hecht with his partner Aurelia. His parents Urs and Theres. His siblings Nina and Anja.
All pulling in the same direction. An impressive team spirit. Great commitment - together with all employees. A strong team, enthusiastic about bringing the best fruit brandies to the world.
