Our regional materials
We have been living this concept since 1829. For us at addi, this means that we source most of our raw materials from our region if at all possible, with long-standing partnerships with our suppliers.
And supplier partners from other regions, for example for our bamboo or olive wood, are often known to us personally because we have visited them on site.
Buy ‘Made in Germany’ and thus high-quality products made from materials with short production chains.
