RIMOWA GMBH

From its headquarters in Cologne, the venerable family-run company conquers the world of travel: The long-established, owner-run company with its own production facilities has been based in Cologne for around 115 years. Most of the nearly 200 work steps it takes to produce a suitcase are performed by hand. This is the only way to maintain the high-end standards of quality RIMOWA has set for itself. A true exception in the industry. Thanks to continual expansion, since 2008 the location in German... y has been joined by an international network of additional production facilities in the Czech Republic, Canada and Brazil. The high-quality products made by hand in craft workshops are distributed worldwide in 65 countries through authorised dealers, company-owned shops and flagship stores. Selective sales through co-operation arrangements with German premium brands such as Lufthansa and Porsche are emphasised. Whether the venerable aluminium suitcase or the lightweight luggage made of the high-tech material polycarbonate: Thanks to the characteristic groove structure of its suitcase shells, RIMOWA design is unmistakable and recognisable at first glance. Even without a visible logo – as a popular prop in many international film productions, for instance – the 'suitcase with the grooves' is clearly identifiable. Although RIMOWA is already represented in countless countries, the next objectives have already been set: to become the luggage of choice worldwide for all people who associate travel with special expectations. Expectations of quality, function and design - and of an authentic travel experience.More
