Social Engagement
Being a family company, we feel obliged to the region. Giving back part of our success to those who do not always have it easy, that is one of our motivation to engage socially every year. For years we have been asking our customers to understand that we are foregoing Christmas presents and instead investing in projects such as children´s cancer aid, help for neighbours, children in need or simply a new goal, tracksuits or events for young athletes.
Our Founder
Our nowadays modern company was once founded by Werner Lieb in a cellar of his dwelling in 1955. Spare and machine parts for the regional toy industry were manufactured. That this was the foundation stone of the company, which today satisfies customers far beyond the Franconian borders, he could not adumbrate. His discipline and his high quality standards shape the family business in the third generation to this day.
The most important principle of the founder has therefore remained an unwritten law of the house: "Lieb does not just satisfy, Lieb inspires!"
