| COMPANY HISTORY: Throughout the world KETTLER is a
leading brand in leisure furniture, sports and fitness equipment,
table tennis tables, bicycles, and children's outdoor toys. Since
1949, the company has grown from a small enterprise in Heinz Kettler's
home town of Ense-Parsit in Germany into a world-wide manufacturing
and marketing organization. Selling in 60 countries and employing
over 3000 people. Heinz Kettler has always remained true to
the "Made in Germany" quality principle and it is still the central
pillar of the company's management philosophy. This means that even
after fifty years of trading all over the world, most of the
factories, and particularly the most important ones, are still in
Germany.
The KETTLER group, with all its international factories, offices and
sales companies, is organized and administered from the head office
in Ense-Parsit. Committed employees develop and produce KETTLER's
innovative and high quality products for people who want to stay fit
or simply relax and enjoy their leisure time. In 2001 KETTLER
USA celebrated their 20th year in the United States. KETTLER USA has
wide distribution in the U.S., South America, Central America and
Canada. As well as a retail showroom in Virginia Beach, VA.
Kettler is also the maker of the
Kiddi-O line of tricycles that resemble Kettrikes but with a scaled
down appearance and lower prices.  |
