How it all started...

Revolutionizing the structures of trade

no more and no less was the drive of Erich Schneider and Werner Klein when the company Schneider + Klein, today suki, was founded in Iserlohn in 1951. The idea: Anyone who wanted to improve their own home should be able to find the right products for it. Today suki is a successful system supplier and offers every do-it-yourself customer a huge product range with which he can implement his own ideas - from smaller to complex projects.
