The history of the Selter company and the addi brand since 1829

The history of the Selter company and the addi brand begins with the founding of the Selter crochet hook factory in Altena in 1829. The brand name addi was first created in the 1950s together with the first catalogs and quickly became a success.

Predicate family-friendly company

In 2023, we were awarded the title of "Family-friendly company". In an intensive examination by a jury consisting of chamber and association members, we were able to impress in various areas. For example, addi stands for the compatibility of work and family, for a very close relationship between employer and employees, for fair cooperation and for respect and a resulting family-friendly mission statement.
