Looking back, it is clear that company founder Gustav Paul Hildebrandt was a true pioneer when he began filling lemon juice in small, manageable glass bottles. An idea that proved to form the basis for an unbelievably successful company history. From 1935 onwards, he and his wife Dorothea also ran a well-known delicatessen in Dresden called "Aufs Brot." One day, when a customer asked for a small amount of lemon juice, Gustav Paul Hildebrandt began filling it in small bottles. At the time, it was standard practice to sell fresh lemon juice in one-liter bottles, as smaller amounts geared towards households were not yet available. This was the genesis of a simple yet highly successful idea: selling lemon juice in small 100 ml bottles under the family name to lovers of fine cuisine.

Today, with the family's third generation now at the helm, the company's innovative spirit is as healthy as ever. Modernization and extension work is being carried out at all locations, while extensive certification processes are being finalized, production relocated, and representative offices established in foreign markets. The move into the Russian market and a complete relaunch of the brand are also a clear indication of the progressive and dynamic development of the SICILIA Group, which is set to remain alive and well for generations to come.
