Two new members round out a successful year for the Initiative Deutsche Manufakturen


The Lübeck-based manufactory Rotter Glas - Crystal since 1870 and Waldmann KG from Birkenfeld expand the circle of members of the Initiative Deutsche Manufakturen – Handmade-in-Germany (IDM) to 25. After the huge success story that was the first action day “Manufakturen@Tag des Handwerks“ on September 19-20 as well as numerous other events, the inclusion of the two new members are the crowning glory at the end of the year 2014.

The manufactory Rotter Glas is renowned for purely handmade, refined crystal glass in a highly modern design. The Lübeck-based family-run business has manufactured glasses since the year 1870. Through the various cutting techniques, a great variety of decors has evolved over the years which enjoy great appreciation by admirers of fine glass cutting. The colored glasses are being exhibited at numerous galleries all over the world.

Applying loving handwork, Waldmann creates real gems of writing utensils. In addition to the manufacturing of fine writing utensils, Waldmann is also a specialist for engravings: Waldmann is the only pen manufacturer that produces writing utensils with the special “Vienna“ engraving that only a handful of professional engravers can still master. Customers from over 60 countries highly appreciate the unique products made in Birkenfeld. Among them are many associations and companies, which regularly make use of exclusively made Waldmann-pens as presents or prizes at award ceremonies.

With the first manufactory-action day on September 19-20 in Berlin, the press trip for international journalists and the inclusion of overall five new members, the year 2014 provided plenty of highlights for the IDM. “Thanks to the action day Manufakturen@Tag des Handwerks and other events in 2014, we were able to position the manufactories even more effectively in the public view. We are moving into 2015 with a lot of energy and a whole lot of new ideas“, says Michael T. Schröder, the chairman of the IDM.
