Engelbert Strauss – enjoy work
The year was 1908 and, our grandpa Engelbert was in the German village of Biebergemünd selling…brooms. Over 100 years and four generations later, gramps would be proud to learn we’ve swept our way to Europe’s leading manufacturer of workwear and work-equipment. Today, with a workforce of 1,200 people (and one ostrich) in 10 offices across Europe, Engelbert Strauss is using cutting-edge technologies, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and in-house craftsmanship to engineer not merely workwear but apparel that works.
Our campus, located among the rolling hills of Biebergemünd / Frankfurt am Main just off the Snow White Trail (we’ve made sure there are no witches), is the breeding ground for the creative ideas, new trends, and original products that drive our collections and our future.

Our company culture?
You tell me – doesn’t everybody do that nowadays? We’ve crafted a culture about the “We.” A family. We’re about honest and authentic interaction. Friendly. And nobody embodies that more than the men at the helm. Right, Steffen?
