Working at addi.
addi / Selter is a successful family-run business employing around 130 staff in Sauerland, the green heart of NRW. Here, innovation meets tradition. We may have our feet firmly on the ground, but that doesn’t stop us dreaming – and dreams are behind the regular development of successful new products and solutions ever since 1829.
We produce quality knitting needles and crochet hooks under the brand name “addi” here in our valley and ship them to customers in 59 different countries. Our global reach is reflected in customer communications in English, French and Turkish – we even offer Russian translations.

Our staff and colleagues are simply part of the company family, so we are always happy when that family grows. We are committed to training and developing young talent: addi has for decades been training industrial managers, and for some time now also equipment operators, toolmakers and industrial mechanics. We also welcome applications for trainee industrial packers/warehouse operators.
