An old van, a few euros in your pocket and a desire for independence. That's all it takes to get started.
Because every study comes to an end at some point, Mirco and Lorenz asked themselves the big question in 2002: Where to go with the meaning of life? The answer for them: to go where they like to be most - to their favorite café, their favorite bar, or directly at the beach. A kola was needed - as a cultural asset, not as a mass product. No sooner said than done, the recipe was developed - not too sweet, but with plenty of caffeine to take home for the night. In addition, faces printed in black and white on beer bottles, with a name as hanseatic and honest as the cosmopolitan homeland. Allow me, fritz.
Today we are a bit bigger, spritzers and sodas have been added, the glass bottles are small and the contents remain natural.
The journey continues. To all those who go through life awake. Because the world belongs to the awake.
fritz is fritz? You don't believe this yourself. With us, you can make the special visible and, above all, make the difference yourself. After all, you don't work for a beverage company, but embody the fritz feeling in its brightest form. You juggle numbers and words just as well as you do with the fritz people - because they are your colleagues. Confidentiality, fun, passion, independent work, loyalty and commitment are a matter of course for you? Then a varied and challenging job in a highly motivated team awaits you: lots of fun at fritz.
