Working at addi
addi, or rather the Selter company, is a successful family-run business with more than 100 employees, situated in the lush heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Sauerland. This is where innovation meets tradition. For although we keep both feet firmly on the ground, our minds often wander among the clouds – and that is how, ever since 1829, we have continually come up with ideas for new products and solutions, which we then successfully bring to market.
Here in our valley, we manufacture top-quality knitting needles and crochet hooks under the brand name “addi” and ship them to customers in more than 60 different countries - we therefore feel quite globalised when we can speak english, french or turkish with clients and offer various translations.
