be creative, be successful, be berlin

"Berlin is different! No other city in Germany has so much cultural diversity, creativity, tolerance, innovation and such a high quality of life. Berlin is the pin-up city for our open nation. Every day, our company proves that all of these conditions are also ideal for success in business. Berlin and Berliner Seilfabrik have belonged together for a very long time now. Our roots go back to 1865 with a rope-making factory that served Berlin’s elevator industry. Today, in 2010, with an export percentage of 75 percent, we are among the most successful companies producing play equipment worldwide. Children all around the world play on the climbing apparatuses made by the “Berliners,” as we are called in the industry. I was born and raised here, and for the past 18 years I’ve been responsible for making “Berliner” playgrounds even more popular all over the world. It’s an exciting job at a fantastic company in a great city!"

“Simply put, Berlin one of the best places to live in the world. We carry the city’s name in our own, and with it we build the coolest playgrounds in the world. I’m very proud to be an ambassador for Berlin!”
