When Josef Friedrich gained his first experience in his uncle's small leather goods store in Nuremberg in 1925, he had no idea that he would soon be running a company steeped in tradition. In 1949, he took over the business and moved into new premises in Nuremberg Eibach with five homeworkers and three representatives. In the 1950s, the first major customers from all over the world allowed the company to flourish, and businesses outside the traditional leather goods sector also began to discover Friedrich's products.

Traditional company from Nuremberg

In 1987, Friedrich Lederwaren moves into new business premises in Schwanstetten. A few years earlier, Ingo Friedrich, a trained wallet maker, starts producing wallets, key rings and folders on his own. In 1988, Friedrich Lederwaren began developing and manufacturing its first jewelry box collections. Since then, the product range has grown steadily and major and industrial customers have become increasingly aware of the Friedrich creative forge. In 2005, Markus Friedrich joins Friedrich Lederwaren as Managing Director and continues the long family tradition.

Broad product range with F|23 and Friedrich|23

With the introduction of F|23 and Friedrich|23 in 2006, the company's product portfolio grows by two more very strong brands. In 2013, Friedrich Lederwaren GmbH celebrates its 30th anniversary and can look back on a series of innovations and international awards.
