History of Our Development
Three generations of tradition...History of Our Development
Three generations of tradition...The third generation still maintains the same important foundation stones for the culture of the company after 60 years:
- Provide counselling based on know-how and never go for “a quick sale”
- Commitment in all dealings
- To be better than the competition
There has always been a clear vision of the way in which the cover of our clients should be optimally achieved. Each generation has implemented and further developed this vision.
Here are some of the important stages:
