Our guiding principles

To combine the past with its reflection on traditions, the proven and the handed down with the future, its innovations, improvements and visions - this is the goal to which the traditional company Fahnen Kössinger in Schierling (Bavaria), founded in 1928, has dedicated itself.

Since then, we have been constantly developing and acting as a company according to our guiding principles, which have been ingrained over decades:

  • preserve tradition
  • live sustainability
  • further cohesion
Despite the unstoppable modernization, we insist on old values and understand our responsibility as a traditional company. Transparent communication with our customers is the recipe for success, according to which we have been producing handmade art embroidery to the highest quality standards for decades. We attach great importance to punctuality and satisfaction, just like our long-term business partners.

We consider sustainability just as much a part of our responsibility. For this reason, in addition to the normal fabrics, we offer green alternatives for our promotional materials. We are also involved in regional projects and use our company green spaces to create a home for insects and nature.

Since the beginning of Fahnen Kössinger we have been building on cohesion. This does not only mean the cohesion in a club or in a community. We pay special attention to the interpersonal togetherness and promote events that create a special added value for our society.

We are a broad-based company with both feet firmly planted in two different market segments. On the one hand, we take care of club customers with our club and festival supplies, who make use of our decades of experience, as well as our very talented embroiderers, and have their old club flags elaborately restored by us. However, we equally offer a large assortment of advertising materials, printed products, and clothing that can be refined.

With our products and our advice, we offer each customer a perfectly tailored solution with which he can present his identity in the best possible way. The use of all common types of printing (especially screen and digital printing) allows us to offer an extraordinary variety of products. In the field of textile advertising, we can also provide a comprehensive spectrum for the optimal presentation of companies, products and brands.
