Basel/10.062025: In May 1875, Max Oettinger opened a tobacconist store at Eisengasse 9 in Basel, thus laying the foundations for today's Oettinger Davidoff AG.

The family-owned company, which now operates all over the world, celebrates in 2025 its 150th anniversary. To mark the occasion, it is hosting some special events in the place where it all began and further strengthens its commitment to its "Crop to Shop" philosophy, with investments in its production and in its global retail network.

Oettinger Davidoff AG opens the doors of the Maison Davidoff in Basel on three days to celebrate its important anniversary, inviting aficionados to explore the company's global headquarters and learn more about its longstanding history. The Maison Davidoff is a short walk from Eisengasse 9, where Max Oettinger first started selling tobacco products in 1875. In doing so Max Oettinger laid the foundations for the success of today's Oettinger Davidoff AG, which now, 150 years later, is the leading global producer of handmade premium cigars, employing over 4'000 employees worldwide.
