In keeping with our family tradition, we regularly develop innovations for the market and optimise existing products. We aim to be one step ahead of the rest with our products. Many of our innovative product developments have become veritable classics.

We were awarded globally recognised AEO certification in 2011, which means our products are given preferential treatment during customs procedures. As a result, our products find their way to the customers that bit quicker.

We generate 75 % of our total sales with exports to more than 100 countries around the world. Everything in our product portfolio is subject to our stringent safety and quality checks. Upon request, we also require our suppliers and business partners to regularly provide us with up-to-date laboratory reports regarding product ingredients and the food safety of the raw materials used. The safety of our products is corroborated by the renowned SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS.

As far as we are concerned, safety and quality also mean being a reliable partner for our customers: the renowned rating agency Hoppenstedt awarded us its top credit rating in 2015 and 2016.

In addition to the items we manufacture ourselves, we are proud to offer a wide array of high-quality products in the areas of protective clothing and food industry equipment.
