Description

Manufacturers from Germany enjoy a worldwide reputation. Whether porcelain, watches, organs or writing implements, the origin of artisanal craftsmanship lies in the immaterial cultural heritage of traditional handicrafts training in central Europe. Globally networked businesses arise that are oriented towards a human dimension and mindful of sustainable production. Handmade in Germany provides an insight into the practice and future concepts of the most significant German manufacturers.
