Our grandpa Engelbert got his start just outside of Frankfurtin 1948, but he wasn't selling workwear back then. No, hewas selling..brooms. He'd stamp them with an ostrich log0(Strauss means "ostrich" in German) and go on to his nextcustomer.

He could not have known then that just three generationslater his family company would become Europe's leader inworkwear and work gear, with a presence on four continents.Thanks, gramps!
