Embracing the Tongue Twisters
Not only do we love a good challenge, but we also have a passion for the art of metalworking! In Germany, we have a rich tradition of craftsmen known by various names, each with its unique flair. Whether you’re a Klempner (plumber) in northern Germany, a Spengler (tin worker) in Bavaria, a Flaschner (sheet metal worker) in Swabia, or a Blechner (metal worker) in Altbayern, each title reflects a commitment to quality and excellence.
