Marcolin Germany Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary

First in Lörrach, then in Ludwigsburg – charming towns in Baden-Württemberg – and finally in Cologne: these are the key locations that have marked Marcolin’s progression in Germany. It all started in 1985, exactly 40 years ago, with a small office and a handful of young employees. In 2017, the company arrived in the heart of the economic, historical and cultural capital of the Rhineland as Marcolin Deutschland GmbH, establishing itself as a thriving organization with strong local ties. Today, it boasts more than 50 employees, many of whom have been with the company for over 25 years, led by North EMEA manager Stephan Hinkerode.

The 40th anniversary is a milestone and an opportunity not only to look back on memories, but also to highlight the key role the German office has played in Marcolin’s expansion across the EMEA region. This success has gone hand in hand with strengthening ties to three iconic German sportswear and luxury brands in the Longarone Group’s portfolio: adidas (with its Sport and Originals lines), MCM, and more recently, the house brand ic! berlin.

The testimonies of Marcolin Deutschland employees confirm the success of a project that began in the 1980s and has stayed true to its vision of being an innovative, international and ever-evolving company, supporting the continuous growth of its employees. This is echoed by Lydia Müller and Manuela Becker, both sales managers at Marcolin since 1999, and by Frank Riethmüller, who joined eight years ago to manage budgets and collections and is now a sales analyst and planner. “At Marcolin, we’ve learned a lot and had the freedom to expand our skills. It’s a pleasure to be part of this team and this great Group.”
