The wave of immediate willingness to help after the flood disaster in Altena has been overwhelming and volunteers are still being found to offer their help directly on site. The willingness to donate is also enormous.
UPDATE 1st September 2021:
A big thank you to all addi fans for sharing the fate of our small town and the people affected. It has touched us deeply to experience so much willingness to help.
At addi, we will be taking a holiday in production from 19.07.-30.07.2021. On the one hand, our employees absolutely need some rest after having always worked a 6-day week in a shift system for more than a year. In addition, the machines need to be serviced so that the safety of the technology is maintained in the long term.
The administration takes turns, so that you can always reach a contact person.
For all international addi fans, the addi catalogue 2021 is now also available in Spanish and Russian for free download at
At addi, the Easter bunny was already there and left flowery greetings for every employee and hid some delicious chocolate eggs.
We wish all addi fans a happy Easter with colourful surprises. Make the very best of it.
The adventure of the first digital trade fair h+h cologne @home is behind us. It was exciting, thrilling, new and showed us all that many things are possible if you want them to be.
Similar to a knitting or crochet project. 😊. The new products from addi have been very well received and we are sure you’ll all be reading a lot more about them in the coming weeks. Look forward to it.

The management team at addi has a new member since February 1st, 2021. Caroline Deutschmann, up to now the manager of the production, has been appointed to the general manager. Her areas of responsibility continue to be in production, personnel, technology and building management.
After a TV report about addi needles on German TV in January 2021, addi fans let us know on social media that they wanted to learn more about knitting needles and crochet hooks made in Germany.
That’s why we have listed some links to blob articles and films about factory visits here in Altena.
Square needles that don’t leave grooves in your fingers. Ergonomics and circular knitting needles for effortless knitting combined in one needle. A fine stitch pattern even for beginners and a good feel. We are talking, of course, about the successful addiNovel product.
