2001

The start of the new millennium had seen a steep decline in the volume of the traditional textile industry in central and east-central Europe. Once more adaptation was the keyword of the day. At about that time the fourth generation entered the company in the person of Stefan Kuehnen.

Efforts were made to enlarge the scope of the offering with additions in recycling technology and technical textiles and also a continuation of the decentralization strategy by founding yet another branch office in Kranj, Slovenia.

Together with a local collaborator the Bulgarian market was added to the scope of the business. Currently a further eastward expansion and possible other additions of territory are under review.

Finally efforts in the Magreb were intensified, especially in Algeria. Our local partner is of substantial help to ensure prime services for customers and vendors alike.
