addi Made in Germany since 1829
At addi we have manufactured our knitting needles and crochet hooks for 187 years in our family business in Altena, Germany.
Sometimes it can take up to 25 work steps before we come up with the perfect needle
– ourcustomers will benefit from our experience and commitment to quality. We only buy in 7% of our range, the remaining 93% we manufacture ourselves, mostly by hand. This allows us to provide jobs in our local area and to guarantee the traceability of our products.
We find that working by hand is sustainable, because knitting and crocheting produces individual, handmade items which can‘t be bought anywhere else. It‘s therefore logical to use knitting and crocheting tools whose production process and origin are also traceable.
Our customers and the final consumers know that when they buy an addi product, it is traceable and sustainable – and manufactured under fair conditions. addi is the only European manufacturer with a full range of knitting and crocheting products. In an increasingly global world, this is now an important factor for many customers.
We are happy to show people what we do and regularly run factory visits. Visitors will also be able to discover the cutting-edge technologies used in our electroplating shop and wastewater system. Our Lean-Lifts are another highlight. Our employees are proud of the products that they manufacture themselves and are delighted with the global success of the “addis”.
