The sustainable brand
koziol stands for true sustainability. All products are manufactured exclusively at our site in Erbach, Germany. With a state-of-the-art production facility, we ensure energy-efficient, environmentally conscious manufacturing. Every material and product is certified, and all processes are regularly audited and continuously monitored.
We live and work in Erbach in the Odenwald – one of the most beautiful regions in Europe. And yes, we’re a bit crazy: in our “ happiness factory,” we do everything ourselves – from idea and design to mold-making and production. That’s why our creativity and quality are second to none. And the best part? Our entire process is CO₂-neutral. Even better: you’re invited to see it all for yourself. Just drop by!
There’s no better motto, and at koziol, we live it every day. With original products for your home and smart reusable solutions for hotels and restaurants worldwide. We’re proud that our innovations were chosen for the German Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka – a true honor that motivates us to keep pushing forward.
Our people are our greatest strength. With passion, curiosity, and technical expertise, our team creates products that delight customers around the world. We love experimenting, problem-solving, and staying one step ahead. With joy in discovery and ideas that shape the future.
Our raw material is anything but ordinary. It’s bio-circular, resource-saving, and completely unique – made from recycled cooking oils collected from the foodservice industry. It requires up to 90% less energy than metal or ceramic, is melamine-free, 100% recyclable, and fully ready for the future.
Design isn’t a coincidence at koziol – it’s in our DNA. Our products combine emotion and function in a distinctive way, earning over 100 design awards. Some of our icons – like the BABELL étagère and the TASCHE XL – have achieved classic status for more than 25 years. And because form and material are inseparable, we use plastic only where it truly makes sense. It’s an unbeatable combination.
And we've got the credentials to prove it. Since 2021, our production has been climate-neutral. We use 100% green electricity – 40% of which we generate ourselves through our solar panels. Our
cooling water comes from our own well and is reused in a closed-loop system. And the heat generated during production? It warms our buildings. Thinking sustainably is good – acting sustainably is better.
With full in-house production, we operate quickly, resource-efficiently, and transparently. Our entire value chain is located in one place, making every process fully traceable. Our “Certified Sustainability” seal confirms our commitment to ecological, economic, and social responsibility. We're also IFS certified for the highest food safety standards, and SEDEX and SMETA audited for ethical and fair working conditions.
