FAMILY TRADITION
On the 27th of November, 1927, Bernhard Koziol founded his ivory-carving workshop as a one-man show. In his bedroom, with the help of an old sewing machine, he created delicate jewelry and miniature figurines out of ivory. In 1935 koziol first manufactured jewelry completely out of synthetic plastics. Back then, the molding-machine was a technological revolution and was, as with everything new, initially met with suspicion.
CLIMATE NEUTRAL
koziol products are climate neutral! Sustainability is a central value within our corporate philosophy. However, although we are very conscious of our use of resources and materials, generating CO2 emissions in our work processes is unavoidable. We offset these emissions through climate protection projects. All koziol products are therefore climate-neutral. With our contributions, we support the preservation of European forests wherein the trees are already fully grown and thus bind a maximum amount of CO₂. In addition, these untouched areas protect many endangered animal- and plant species, contributing to valuable biodiversity.
