From families for families: since 1932 of experience and expertise “Made in Germany”

Happy families and contented babies – that’s our goal. For this we put our heart and soul into developing and manufacturing safe, functional products that meet the highest quality standards, the strictest norms and all the legal requirements. We have earned the trust of our customers over the last over 90 years. A trust that we repay by developing baby products that provide the very best support for babies and toddlers and make everyday life easier for parents.

To this end, we work closely together with doctors and midwives, incorporate the latest findings from medicine and technology and draw on our decades of experience. But the careful selection of raw materials, efficient manufacturing processes and cooperation with regional suppliers for short transport routes also distinguish our work. The result is innovative baby products that provide parents all over the world with the best possible support for their new “having a child” adventure.

Dear Moms and Dads!

As parents ourselves, we know the needs of young families only too well. We want to make your lives a little bit easier and safer. For us, ‘Made in Germany’ is not just an advertising slogan but a responsibility towards our customers that we live by.

We are not an anonymous large corporation. Since 1932 and now in our 4th generation, we have been working with our 190 employees to make sure that you can buy products of the highest quality.
