1988 - 1996

From 1988 to 1996, our company dominated the market in Germany with an impressive 50 percent share. But our influence didn't stop there. We also held shareholdings and proprietary interests in nine other countries, including the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Finland, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Australia, and South Africa. Our global expansion efforts didn't go unnoticed either. In 1996, we were honored with the prestigious "Innovative SME" prize for our exceptional ability to expand abroad while simultaneously creating more job opportunities in Germany.

Jutta Kübler, Bernd's wife, played a pivotal role during this time, making a significant positive contribution to the company's success.
In December of 1994, a new addition to the family arrived as Jutta and Bernd welcomed their son Karsten into the world.
