Our Story
From Passion to Craft
Since 1999, we've been crafting hawkers' trays in Aachen with dedication and attention to detail. What began as a small family project has become our shared vocation. My father founded the manufactory out of enthusiasm for traditional craftsmanship, and since 2012, I, Dirk Horch, have continued this tradition.
Every hawker's tray that leaves our workshop carries a piece of our story - crafted with the knowledge of two generations.
Why We Do What We Do
In a world of mass marketing, we believe in the power of personal encounters. For us, a hawker's tray isn't just a sales tool, but a relationship builder - it creates closeness, evokes memories, and invites conversation.
Whether at Christmas markets, corporate events, or city festivals - we love seeing our hawkers' trays bring people together and create special moments.
Our Promise
In our workshop, we focus on:
- Sustainability: We only use wood from responsible forestry
- Handcraft: Each hawker's tray is crafted with loving attention to detail
- Durability: We build products for professional use
- Regionality: From cutting to finished product - everything is made in our Aachen workshop
We look forward to getting to know you personally - whether in our workshop, by phone, or at an event.
