Zoeppritz GmbH is transferring its headquarters – from Heidenheim to Munich

Munich, July 1st, 2016 – After 188 years on the Swabian Alb in Heidenheim, Zoeppritz GmbH is now transferring its headquarters to Munich. The logistics centre remains unchanged in Heidenheim.

As of August 2015, siblings Jan Alt and Simone Jelli have taken over all company shares from the previous majority shareholder. Jan Alt, Creative Director of Zoeppritz GmbH since 2001 and today also Managing Director, has successfully run the market repositioning of the brand ’zoeppritz since 1828’. Simone Jelli, now Authorized Signatory of Zoeppritz GmbH, leads the communication division/department of ’zoeppritz since 1828‘ since 2001.

„We are now beginning a new chapter in our company’s history. The move to Munich is a huge and important step for us“, says Jan Alt. „My sister, Simone Jelli, and I have grown up as the fifth generation of an entrepreneurial textile family. We are therefore highly aware of our responsibility toward the longtime history of Zoeppritz GmbH, as well as to our staff. As a family business, we continue to establish long-lasting relations with our new and existing customers and suppliers; as well as foster trust and mutual cooperation with our business partners.“

Founded in the year 1828 by the brothers Jacob and Georg Zoeppritz as „Gebr. Zoeppritz“ to produce woolen blankets and flannels, the company is the oldest wool weaving mill in Europe. All the collections of the product lines ’Wear’ and ’Home’ are consistently made of high-quality innovative materials, fancy and classical designs, conservative and edgy colour combinations – Heritage, Quality & Passion: ‘zoeppritz since 1828’ successfully combines tradition and product know-how with trend and zeitgeist.
