Working at addi.
addi or the company Selter is a successful family business with around 100 employees in the middle of the green heart of NRW, the Sauerland. This is where innovation meets tradition. Because even though the people at our company have both feet on the ground, our heads not infrequently disappear between the clouds - because that's how we've been finding ideas for new products and solutions to bring them successfully to market 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 62 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.
