For a bluer planet
The koziol company philosophy
100% Made in Germany
koziol has been inventing, designing and producing high-quality design products with unmistakable designs for living and living since 1927. Exclusively in Germany, in Erbach, in the middle of the Odenwald. Responsible and in harmony with people and the environment, resource and energy-saving, in compliance with the highest quality and safety standards. koziol articles are not disposable products but functional design objects of high emotional value.
100% sustainable
Koziol places the highest demands on itself when it comes to sustainable action. That is why product development, model making, construction, mold making, marketing, production and shipping are all under one roof. That is why koziol produces owner-managed, sorted and 100% recyclable. And that's why even the famous dream balls, which company founder Bernhard Koziol invented over 60 years ago, are filled with pure koziol water from the in-house spring. Which also feeds the closed in-house water circuit for cooling during product manufacture and heating the company buildings.
100% certified
Koziol has been certified according to DIN ISO 9001 for quality management for over ten years. Our Kaizen program, the focus on corporate environmental policy and the introduction of an environmental management system make koziol an energetic pioneer in the entire industry. The entire manufacturing process is completely traceable. So far, koziol products have only been rated "very good" by the ÖKOTEST magazine. As an overall assessment, for the correct use and harmlessness of colors and materials.
100% recyclable
koziol only processes thermoplastics that are 100% recyclable and does not use any plasticizers. koziol only uses color pigments that are free of harmful substances. koziol only packs in sophisticated cardboard boxes with the green dot. And recycles all plastic waste that arises during production. You can hardly deal with material more consciously and purely than with koziol.

100% environmentally conscious
Energy efficiency doesn't start with the refrigerator or dishwasher. But when buying dishes. Porcelain, ceramics or glass do not have the lowest energy consumption (and thus CO2 emissions) during first production and second transport. But the domestically manufactured plastic products from koziol. Thirdly, they have the same calorific value as crude oil in thermal recycling, the energy of which they store for an indefinite period of time. koziol products are therefore energy reserves in a particularly attractive form.
100% happy
Man's dwelling is his kingdom of heaven. To this end, koziol constantly invents and designs new, authentic design items that will give your imagination wings. Design objects from koziol make you happy. Because they feel good. Because the eye likes to run over it. And because they trigger feelings where one would otherwise have no feelings. Everyone can afford happiness with design from koziol, anywhere. Anyone can give it away. And everyone can use it to make the world a little bluer and happier with a clear conscience.
100% design
The unique and internationally award-winning koziol design is the result of the cooperation between our factory design team and the most renowned designers and universities from all over Europe. The symbiosis of brain, high-tech and craftsmanship creates legendary, long-lasting design icons such as the AROMA cup series by Matteo Thun and koziol or the TASCHE by star architect Alessandro Mendini and koziol. Many of them have won the most prestigious international design awards? a total of more than 40 times.
100% transparent
How happy sustainable production of good design can make you can now experience fans and friends of koziol directly in the glass production facility in the newly built Brandland, the koziol happiness factory. In the museum, fantastic machines and products typical of the time tell the most exciting stories from over 80 years of happiness production. Everything interactive, with levers, buttons and conveyor belts? to participate and try out. Nice design to take away is available in the design outlet and small delicacies in the Glückskantine. The crowd puller in the middle of the Odenwald enlivens the entire region. And inspires more and more people to bring a smile into their lives.
