Peter Winkelmann
Sales / Trade Fair
If we had to describe Peter in three words, they would be: extroverted, eloquent and euphoric!

He knows how to make contacts and sets himself high goals. Even in his free time, he is passionate about cars and his extravagant lifestyle.

Ladies and Gentlemen, can we introduce you to this charming colleague? As the double name suggests, our dear colleague Vanessa comes from France. She is the ideal addition to our sales team to perfectly serve the French market. And her wish to be able to work in her native language and part-time is also coming true. When she is not on the phone with our French customers and partners, she likes to spend her free time with her family, cycling through the Allgäu countryside or baking cakes, which the team has already benefited from when she joined 😉

Marvin Gutknecht
E-Commerce Manager and Digital Marketer
Marvin develops digital solutions in the areas of web design and e-commerce. What represents enormous challenges for most of the team, he solves creatively and conceptually, often with just a few clicks - including a charming smile. Because Marvin is actually always in a good mood and optimistic. In the backend, with advertising or e-commerce plugins, the devil is often in the detail, but details are exactly Marvin's thing - which can also be seen in his private life in his tuned Toyota GT 86, among other things.

Ian Hagg
Video editor
Behind every good video there is a brilliant editor who filters out the best content from hours of raw material and puts it together into a masterpiece. And, in the best case scenario, also enter it into the video archive in a structured manner. For us, this genius is called Ian. He has a special feel for timing, tone, colors and effects. As soon as the recordings are in the box, he disappears behind the screen: sifts through, cuts, snips, plays Tetris with them, reaches into his bag of tricks and scatters confetti! Another video ready to go viral is ready. In his free time he makes music, enjoys being out in nature early in the morning and has been taking photographs for over 12 years.

Good teamwork is extremely important to him. His relaxed and uncomplicated manner makes him an asset to the team. He likes to spend his free time with his wife and dog.
Magdalena Niedoba
Warehouse management
Magda is our warehouse professional. She packs all the products and keeps track of them so that all customers and partners don't have to wait long for the BLUE one. Perfection is her middle name. When she's not stacking mountains of cardboard, she climbs the Allgäu Alps and mountains over 3000m.
