Live responsibly – nurture togetherness
Binder Management Board

Success thanks to team spirit

In a family-run company like Binder, everyone bears responsibility: each individual in their own area. That goes for us, the management, our employees in leading positions, and our dedicated team.

Our application solutions mean the world to us. We take pride in the fact that we always find an answer to our customers' challenges thanks to our years of experience and innovative ideas, and that we're contributing to their success.

A goal that we can only reach together. This togetherness makes us strong and helps us progress.

With innovative spirit, know-how and perfectionism, we've achieved a lot. But we wouldn't be Binder if we didn't continue our journey: We want to prove to customers in various industries around the globe that our solutions can contribute to their success as their needs grow and change.

Did you know? This is what counts at Binder

Whether it's research & development, marketing and sales, production or administration – we work closely together with competence and commitment. And we're always happy to welcome new members to our big family.

To deliver reliably and guarantee our high quality as well as possible, we produce exclusively at 3 sites in Germany: at the company headquarters in Holzgerlingen and in two factories in Großröhrsdorf.

Products made in Germany are in demand all around the world. In 2024 we supplied our high-tech fastening solutions in 57 countries. Furthermore proximity to our customers is important to us. That's why we've established a direct sales force with local sales representatives in numerous European countries and beyond.

In the mid 50’s: Sole license for Germany to manufacture the Kletten® hook fastener. And not even three years later: Production and sales of our first hook-and-loop fastener Klettostar®, which is still a great success today. Establishing our own toolmaking shop, now fully developed into the Mechanical Engineering & Services division. Product range supplemented by films and profile extrusion. 1995: Our mushroom-in-mushroom fastener Duotec® works as easily as a press stud, clicking audibly and perceptibly into place. 1996: Expansion of our portfolio with our extra thin, micro-extruded hook fastener Microplast®, versatile in use from aircraft to personal care.

It really is difficult to choose with so many innovations. But these are some of our star performers: Gecko® tape – our bio-inspired world first from 2009 sticks without any adhesive or counterpart. And most recently from 2021: Binder BioHook® – the first biodegradable hook fastening solution for greater sustainability.
