A journey back in time through the history of our company.
The ironworks SULO (Streuber & Lohmann Eisenwerke GmbH & Co. KG) from Herford builds a plastics production factory in Stemwede with the aim of adding household goods made from plastics to its portfolio. The state-of-the-art SULO factory creates new jobs in the Stemwede region; its construction soon leads to the building of two new housing estates close by.
Luigi Colani, an internationally well-known and avant-garde designer, creates a baby product collection for SULO in 1971.
The timeless, aesthetic design of the baby bath ensured that it has remained a bestseller to this day and is still sold by the keeeper brand.

Becauser at keeeper, it´s about making everyday life a little easier – and creating more room for what you love.
We believe the better question is: What makes a product worth choosing?
For us, it starts with choosing the right material for its purpose. Plastic is lightweigt, versatile and easy to care for – qualities that make it a practical choice for many products we use every day.
At keeeper, we turn these qualities into practical, reliable solutions designed for everyday use. And because there is always room to improve, we continuously review our materials, designs and processes.

97.8% of the granulate processed at keeeper consists of polypropylene (PP) and PP regranulate.
PP combines qualities that matter for our products: it is lightweight, durable, versatile and easy to care for. It is also recyclable and can be identified and separated by modern sorting technologies where the appropriate recycling infrastructure is available.
But choosing the right material is only part of the story. We continuously work on our materials, designs and processes, while our products are regularly tested to meet our standards for quality and product safety. The result? Smart, reliable products made to be used, loved and kept.
At keeeper, improvement is something we continuously work on – from the materials we use to the way our products are made.
We take specific measures to reduce environmental impacts associated with our operations and products. Where we report environmental improvements or emission reductions, these are based on documented data and, where applicable, verified through recognized certificates.
One example of our approach is our eco line. eco line products are made using post-consumer recycled material (PCR) and are certified with the Blue Angel (Blauer Engel) Type I environmental label.
Blue Angel is awarded according to defined enviromental and product criteria established by the label owner, the German Federal Ministy for the Enviroment. The ceritfication forms part of our ongoing efforts to develop products and munfacturing processes using recycled materials where technically feasible.
