About us
We are an owner-managed company with more than 130 staff. Managing Director is the owner Carsten Weser. Our head office is located in independent town Suhl in the midst of the Thuringian Forest and therefore in direct proximity to the popular hiking trails Rennsteig.

We feel connected to our homeland and it is important for us to manufacture all our products here as well.
Therefore, for us Made in Germany is not just a slogan but also a promise.
