Production is carried out at three industrial sites in Germany, China and Vietnam and the company has 800 employees. A well-known brand in German-speaking countries, EMSA primarily covers the core-range segment and boasts strong positions in Germany in thermoware and food storage containers, where it is the market leader. EMSA is also present in the rest of Europe and the Middle East.

The acquisition of EMSA constitutes a strong strategic advantage for our continued development in the buoyant market of kitchen utensils and accessories.
