HISTORY It was a Caritas childcare transfer to Portugal in 1948 that was to decide the future and career of my father, Gerhard Schießer. Not only was he allowed to partake in the long-awaited holiday release from war-torn Austria, but he was also to make close contact with the cork producing industrialist AMORIM family. After four years of fruitful work and training (1963-1967) at the cork manufacturing plants of the AMORIMS, he was offered the unique opportunity to establish the Gerhard Schiesser Ges.m.b.H. as a cork wholesale trader in Austria in 1967 along with his Portuguese partner. 25 years the Gerhard Schiesser Ges.m.b.H. was the main supplier to a number of well-known cork wholesalers across Austria as well as in Eastern Europe thus opening up for the Portuguese partners, whose products had been boycotted by the East, a golden gateway to new key markets and countries. Having established itself as the world’s undisputed leader in the cork business, AMORIM adapted its sales strategy in the early 90´s and began to pursue an approach that encouraged direct “manufacturer-to-consumer” sales.

In 1992, a total investment of about €500,000 was made by the Korken Schiesser Ges.m.b.H. to build a modern cork processing plant in Vienna. The AMORIM slogan “quality has a name” was the reason that a laboratory equipped with the latest in technology was established within the Vienna facility. In 1996, the two companies, Gerhard Schiesser Ges.m.b.H. (which had been set up to act as a holding company up to that time) and Korken Schiesser Ges.m.b.H., agreed to merge retaining,

however, its colourful name as it had by then already become commonly known and a household name in the wine business. In 2004, my father chose to take his well-deserved retirement and made me his successor as managing director of the company in the same year. HACCP-certification in 2004 is to prove our genuine commitment to quality and customer service. To achieve this goal, we offer our customers products that are reliable and of the highest possible quality – not least because they have been processed in accordance with the most advanced standards and technologies. With the acquisition of the company Llosent & Forschner in 2008 and the subsequent merger with Korken Schiesser Ges.m.b.H. we were able to take over the strong brand Llosent on board and claim the leadership of the Austrian cork industry. The years 2009 and 2010 were, due to the global economic crisis, years of cost optimizations, from which we came back motivated and strengthen in 2011. In 2017 we will be happy to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our clients and friends. My ambition is to continue to maintain the company dynamically and result-orientated and to offer our customers the best possible quality closures at reasonable prices. The foundation stone was laid by my father, which I am very grateful to him.

The world´s best wine stoppers just got better Amorim is proud to unveil NDtech – an individualized quality control screening technology for natural cork stoppers that delivers the world´s first natural cork with a non-detectable TCA guarantee*. Winemakers can now use the supreme guardian for wine - natural cork - with an unprecedented quality control service that effectively eliminates the risk of cork taint, by ensuring that if any TCA remains present in the cork it is below the detection threshold of 0.5 nanograms/liter. The new fast chromatography machine analyses each cork in seconds, thus shattering the previous testing times in existing chromatography machines that typically require up to 14 minutes for each batch of corks. The high-precision screening service can detect any cork with more than 0.5 nanograms of TCA per liter (parts per trillion), which will be automatically removed from the supply chain. NDtech natural cork stoppers will be available in following dimensions/qualities: (fall 2016)

44 x 24 mm Ref.000-NDT / 100-NDT / 102-NDT 49 x 24 mm Ref.000-NDT / 100-NDT / 102-NDT

NEUTROCORK® The clean technical cork

NEUTROCORK® is a unique cork and the latest result of a novel manufacturing approach in the cork industry. Premium cork granules are treated with excessively hot vapour, a procedure required by the ROSA® treatment developed by AMORIM scientists. This vapour treatment effectively reduces TCA (2,4,6 Trichloranisol), the main culprit for corky, musty tastes.

Having been thus cleaned, the granules are used to manufacture NEUTROCORK®, a cork that is inexpensive, safe and neutral in that it does not in any way affect the wine’s original flavours.

The NEUTROCORK® is available in two sizes:

38 x 24 mm 44 x 24 mm

Great offer for many reasons:

Almost TCA-free granules thanks to ROSA® –procedure, which offers 99.9 %

protection against non-original flavours
