Our vision: everything we do is dedicated to our customers! This has influenced us a lot. Ronsdorf, today part of the city of Wuppertal, specialized in ribbon weaving, had about 4,000 inhabitants
in 1850. 1,700 thereof weavers and knitters, not including the finishing industry. At that time Nolzen dealt with the colouring
business; because this is strongly connected to water consumption, the small business moved closer to the Morsbach river region, Ronsdorf textiles were in great demand. As hat ornaments, decoration on dresses, leaving satisfied customers between Berlin, Budapest and Paris.
