Anniversary Thomas Selter
Where has the time gone? – that’s what Mr. addi, Thomas Selter, thinks. Because on 01.12.2021, he celebrated his 50th anniversary of service at addi. He looks back on a long career of success, which he celebrated well-deservedly in a small circle with his employees!
However, this does not mean that he will now say goodbye to the company.... neben seinem neuen Job im eigenen Garten, ist er noch täglich im Unternehmen zu finden und wer weiß, vielleicht liest man im Newsletter „addiGeflüster“ 2031 von einem 60-jährigen Jubiläum.
Zu diesem tollen Anlass hat „The Knitter“ in der Ausgabe 55/2021 ein tolles Portrait erstellt, den wir veröffentlichen dürfen.

The story of Thomas Selter
The story of Thomas Selter
Today, the addi brand stands for a promise of quality and for Made in Germany. It stands for premium needles and a guarantee promise. And after 50 years, “Mr. addi” still stands behind it. For a long time now, the young man from back then has no longer been called Thomas Selter, but he is known as Mr. addi, and as such he signs autographs on the packaging in the USA, China, Russia and Japan.

One ear to the customer, the other to his employees. Thomas Selter always has the door open and even today he knows most of the team members personally, takes breaks with them, puts his hands on their shoulders and also likes to get involved in the technology. Although he has a degree in business administration, all the technicians in the company and on the supplier side treat him with great respect because he has always been very committed to innovations and new technologies.
In the meantime, Thomas Selter, i.e. Mr. addi, has handed over the majority of his shares to his wife, Claudia Malcus. She has been working with him for more than 30 years and knows the company almost as well.
Together with the addi team, she is now also moving digitally into the future, setting up the company sustainably and wanting to “preserve the good and dare the new”. Mr. addi can still be found in the company every day and together with his team he will rightly celebrate his 50th anniversary on 1 December 2021 in a suitable setting.
