FACKELMANN profits from globalisation 

India and China as drivers of growth 

Amazing successes notched up in England, France and Ukraine 

Uninterrupted growth continues ! 

Hersbruck/Frankfurt, 02/08/2012 

FACKELMANN GmbH + Co. KG from Hersbruck near Nuremberg can look back on 

2011 as yet another year of growth. The turnover of the FACKELMANN Company 

Group, with a total of 34 branches and production sites worldwide, rose in 2011 to 

€301 million. This amounts to a growth of 4 per cent. 

A glance at the development across the continents and different countries in some cases 

reveals a very varied picture. In China and India, with their enormous populations, the 

company continues to expand. In these countries, massive increases of 40 % (India; 

domestic and export) and 25 % (Chinese domestic market) were recorded. These markets 

are and will continue to be a cornerstone of future growth for FACKELMANN. 

In Europe, too, sales efforts in countries like England, France (+ 19 %) and Ukraine (+ 20 %) 

returned noteworthy levels of performance. In England in particular, the long-term 

investments in staff and market development have started to pay off, with the welcome result 

of a growth rate of 25 % brought about by new customer acquisitions. 

In Germany, sales remained static at the level of the previous year; in some Eastern 

European states, due to a reduction by some major customers of special promotions in the 

non-food field, the figures fell just short of those of 2010. 

“We are working hard and with determination on many fronts,” managing partner Alexander 

Fackelmann stresses. In the year just gone, 2011, a conscious decision was made in the 

future to prioritise potential markets. “As a family business we always think long-term and 

have our eyes firmly on the continuous development of our business to secure the future 

prosperity of the firm.” 

The growth of the FACKELMANN bathroom furniture division was somewhat hampered by 

the conscious decision to draw back from discounting campaigns, although, happily, the 

shortfall was very nearly made good by the outstanding sales performance of Lanzet, the 

specialist bathroom furniture brand. ZENKER Backformen (Aichach) once again contributed 

some €30 million to the overall turnover. 

The new logistics centre at the company‟s headquarters in Hersbruck, which officially 

commenced operations in May and is the result of an investment volume of some €6 million, 

has proved its worth in the best possible way. Links to existing warehousing and despatch 

modules have since brought about significant progress in efficiency and processing speed.

In December 2011, the presence of Lanzet Badmöbel in Hersbruck was documented by the 

opening of a showroom in the town. Lanzet has been a member of the Fackelmann Group 

since 2008, and production and administration have now been relocated to renovated halls 

on the main FACKELMANN site. 

“We believe passionately in the „Made in Germany‟ label,” says Alexander Fackelmann, 

underlining the company‟s commitment to this investment as well. 

FACKELMANN counts roughly 3,500 employees worldwide, around 750 of them in Germany. 

At its trade show stand in Hall 6.0 of Ambiente, FACKELMANN and ZENKER Backformen 

are to present around 120 surprising and smart innovations. Specially designed knife ranges, 

colourful household goods and new baking moulds are sure to quicken the pulses of 

shoppers – and, subsequently, of amateur cookery enthusiasts as well! 

FACKELMANN is to open Ambiente 2012 with a major charity run by ultra-marathon 

specialist Robert Wimmer, who has for years been supporting the company from Hersbruck 

with a range of activities. The distance runner has undertaken to cover 64 km on the 

treadmill and thereby to raise money for the FACKELMANN children's fund! 

FACKELMANN GmbH + Co. KG, founded in 1948 as a commercial agency for ironmongery 

and household goods in Hersbruck near Nuremberg, is represented on all five continents by 

its products for the kitchen, baking, household and leisure. Nearly all of the world’s 50 largest 

trading organisations are partners of the family business. There are currently 34 branches 

and production sites. The product family includes, alongside the core FACKELMANN brand, 

NIROSTA, ZENKER Backformen, FM professional, TopFilter, Probus Creative Housewares, 

Sweany Reinigungsartikel and Lanzet Badmöbel. In 2011, turnover amounted to €301 million 

and the number of employees accounts for around 3,500.

FACKELMANN underscores its commitment to environmental protection and 

sustainable economic activity: The wooden articles range is FSC certified ! 

For FACKELMANN, a sustainable and respectful style of company management expresses 

itself in different aspects of daily business. For instance, FACKELMANN guarantees in all its 

companies worldwide to maintain a leadership style which is recognised for its human, social 

and socio-political values (membership of BSCI - Business social compliance initiative) and 

also pledges at the level of production and sales to adhere to ecological and resource-saving 

methods and processes. 

One important element of these measures is the adoption in the FACKELMANN wooden 

products range of the FSC Concept. 

But what does FSC certification actually mean? 

FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council, that is, for the promotion of the 

environmentally-friendly, socially compatible and economically sustainable management of 

forests. 

“This is achieved by FSC on the one hand through the definition of environmental and social 

standards in forestry, and, on the other, through taking into account recycled material which 

can be used in FSC-certified products. Products with the FSC label therefore represent a 

practice of forestry that is in accordance with social, economic and ecological requirements 

and the responsible use of recycled materials for the benefit of present and future 

generations.”

At FACKELMANN, some 50 wooden articles, from cooking spoons to chopping boards, are 

now produced in line with FSC requirements. This range will be completed gradually.

Art.No. 27205: Drinking Bottle 

Inject some colourful cheer into your kitchen and household with the new "Happy" colour 

range from FACKELMANN. The sheer diversity of the range will allow you to do a 

complete makeover of your kitchen utensils. You have the choice of practical and 

attractive kitchen aids such as aprons, oven gloves and mitts, pretty lunchboxes, various 

drinking bottles, beakers and cooking spoons. All articles are available in the three 

fashionable colours lime, berry and stone. 

The “Happies” are made of high-quality materials and are strong and robust. 

So that you’ll never be left high and dry ! 

Just the right thing for leisure, school or sport. 

Once you start using them, the Happy drinks bottles from FACKELMANN will 

always be by your side. 

To fill the bottle up, just unscrew the cap, and the precisely engineered thread 

means that it is completely leak-tight when closed. To drink from it, simply pull up 

the spout to open the valve. Once you have refreshed yourself, close the bottle 

again by pressing firmly down on the spout. 

Capable of holding 550 ml, these drinks bottles are the ideal size to ensure that you 

won‟t run short of fluid. They can conveniently be stowed in sports or school bags 

without adding too much extra weight, making them especially suitable for children‟s 

sports bags, school and trips away. 

The colourful drinks bottles are approx. 19 cm high and made in Germany from 

unbreakable and shock-resistant (TPA-free) plastic. 

FACKELMANN offers further drinking bottle alternatives within its new Happy-range !

Art. No. 42066: Strawberry Slicer 

Summer time is strawberry time ! 

This smart kitchen aid from FACKELMANN cuts the sweet little fruit into eight equal slices 

with just one action. A particularly practical timesaver! 

Perfect strawberry slices have a great many uses: for decorating desserts and cocktails, or 

as an ingredient in fruit salads and a topping for fruit tarts. 

The strawberry slicer‟s seven razor-sharp blades are made of rustproof stainless steel, whilst 

the strawberry-red slicer body comes in translucent ABS resin.

Art.No. 42078: Kiwibox 3in1 

Now always on hand: the kiwi vitamin C kick for when you’re out and about ! 

Kiwis taste delicious, kiwis are good for you ! 

It‟s just a shame that the “furry little vitamin C 

bombs” are so difficult to carry with you and can‟t 

easily be eaten without a knife and spoon. 

For this reason, they haven‟t until now exactly been 

the ideal lunchbox fruit for school or office. 

The FACKELMANN Kiwibox 3in1 now offers the 

ideal solution for the safe and damage-free storage, 

cutting and enjoyment of kiwis. 

Because the Kiwibox comes with a built-in spoon and cutter ! 

To cut the kiwi, all you have to do is to put the whole fruit in the lower part of the Kiwibox and 

shut the lid. The cutter slices through the middle of the fruit, letting you conveniently scoop 

out the halves with the spoon. Guaranteed to be fun for kids too ! 

The patented FACKELMANN Kiwibox is made of durable, bright green plastic; the cutter and 

spoon come in pink, forming a nice contrast. 

All parts can conveniently be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

The Fackelmann Kiwibox 3in1 – clever, neat, and ideal for that extra portion of vitamin C on 

route ! 

Dimensions: approx.10 x 7 cm

Art.No. 42089: Pumpkin Tool 

Bring on the pumpkin season and Halloween ! 

FACKELMANN presents its all-in-one tool for working with pumpkins! 

At first sight, the new pumpkin tool impresses with its strong, non-slip handgrip and sharpedged 

scoop. 

But this practical aid has yet more to offer! The handle houses a sharp, serrated blade of 

roughly 12 cm in length, and there is a locking mechanism to securely fix it in place. 

So now you can cut up even the largest of pumpkins and then – having retracted the blade – 

use the spoon to hollow them out. 

Thanks to its sharp point, the knife can also be used to cut holes in and decorate pumpkins. 

The FACKELMANN pumpkin tool is approx. 19 cm long when the blade is retracted, 30 cm 

long when extended. The blade is made of rustproof stainless steel, the housing of 

hardwearing plastic. The new FACKELMANN kitchen aid can also be used for large melons 

(cantaloupes and watermelons), as clusters of pips inside the melon can quickly be removed 

with one stroke of the spoon. The pumpkin tool is dishwasher-safe and can, if required, be 

dismantled.

Art.No. 42094: Melon Knife / Melon Borer 

Perfecting the art of serving melon 

Slice, trim and serve your next melon quickly with the practical melon knife and borer from 

FACKELMANN. 

The slightly curved handle conceals a sharp, serrated blade of approx. 9.5 cm in length, 

which boasts the optimum shape and curvature to remove the fruit from its skin. This makes 

it the very best way to present attractive starters such as melon boats with Parma ham. After 

use, the knife can be safely folded into the handle. 

At the opposite end of the little kitchen aid you will find a small hemispherical scoop which is 

absolutely ideal for hollowing melon out into balls to garnish salads or cocktails. 

When fully opened, the FACKELMANN melon tool is roughly 24 cm long. 

It is made of rustproof stainless steel and hardwearing plastic and is therefore dishwashersafe. 

When folded, it can be safely stowed away and takes up very little space.

Art.No. 42241: Kaba Spoon 

There is hardly any household without a coffee measuring spoon. 

But, if the grown-ups have one, it‟s only fair that the little ones should have their own version 

too ! 

In cooperation with chocolate drink “Kaba – Plantagentrank”, FACKELMANN has developed 

a special spoon to add yet more pleasure to drinking Kaba. 

The spoon, whose chocolate and yellow colour scheme matches the product, helps you 

dispense and stir the Kaba powder properly, as a spoonful is equal to 7 grams. It is roughly 

15 cm long, and a typical portrait of Berry, the Kaba bear, smiles cheerily at you from the end 

of the handle every time you use it. And, on the back, the spoon has one more special trick in 

reserve: a clip which can be used to seal the Kaba inner bag to keep in the aroma. 

The FACKELMANN Kaba spoon is made of very strong, dishwasher-safe plastic and can 

conveniently be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

The FACKELMANN Kaba spoon is available from most self-service stores and 

supermarkets. The best place to look is the shelf with the instant chocolate drinks !

Art.No. 42999: Large hanging “Angel” decoration cookie cutter 

For cookies that really “cut” it ! 

Not all cookies are destined to be eaten ! 

The prettiest of them can find a career on the Christmas tree or as hanging decorations in 

the home ! 

Zenker Pâtisserie is offering a new solution that is as attractive as it is practical: 

The flying angel cookie cutter comes with a metal tube to pierce a hole through the dough 

prior to baking, by which the freshly baked cookie can be hung up. 

In this way, your lovingly baked and decorated cookies can adorn both cookie plate and 

Christmas tree. 

Children in particular will enjoy having "their" angel around that extra bit longer ! 

The cutter is made of tin foil and is approx. 11 x 11 cm in size.

Turning muffins into delicious cupcakes ! 

Art.No. 43068: Decorating Set for cupcakes and pastries 

Art.No. 43066: Muffin Corer 

Art.No. 43945: Muffin Stand 

It‟s now over 10 years since muffins left the USA to embark on their unstoppable quest to 

conquer Europe. Since then, the muffin craze has completed its conquest of the retail food 

and baking trade. 

Now, the classy and artistically decorated cousins of the muffins, cupcakes, are enjoying 

increasing popularity. Zenker Pâtisserie has all the right tools and accessories for artistic 

decoration. 

The decorating set for cupcakes and pastries contains two concertina bottles with caps, 

which, when used in combination with the eight different enclosed nozzles, open the door to 

previously undreamt-of decorative possibilities. A small baking brush ideally serves for 

delicate painting of pastries. 

The package also contains a mini spatula made of nylon - this is ideal for the application and 

smoothing of cream toppings and glazes or for the easy serving of pastries and biscuits. 



12

Cupcakes are often distinguished by their variety of cream, nougat or chocolate fillings. The 

necessary deep hole in the middle is made using the cupcake corer. Just push the corer 

into the centre of the muffin and pull it out again to remove the middle section of the dough. 

The hole – the reversible corer allows for dimensions of 2,5 and 3,4 cm – can now be filled 

with delicious ingredients. 



13

The multi-level cake stand from Zenker Pâtisserie is ideal for effectively showcasing your 

lovingly and elaborately decorated cupcakes. It consists of colour-coated card, comes in kit 

form and can be put together in seconds. In this way, 18 muffins or cupcakes can find their 

rightful place on the coffee table or buffet.

Art.No. 7400: – Baking tray for 48 chips 

48 crispy chips at a stroke 

Everyone likes chips, as either a side dish or a main meal in their own right with ketchup and 

mayonnaise – or, for that matter, as a quick snack between meals. 

Chips are especially popular with kids. And now, so that you can make your own version of 

this best-loved of all potato dishes, Zenker has come up with a practical chip baking tray. 

No more tiresome peeling and fiddly slicing of potatoes – with the new baking tray you can 

make a whole batch of chips at a stroke – in more than one sense of the word! 

The first thing you need is a ready-made potato dumpling mixture, either home-made or 

freshly constituted from an instant dumpling mix. Now you can give your imagination free 

rein: the mixture can be individually spiced and refined for the discerning palate with, for 

instance, curry powder, chilli or herbs – interesting colour effects can also be achieved 

through the addition of the various extra ingredients! 

Then stroke the dough over the baking tray until it fills the chip-shaped recesses. Bake the 

chips for 10 to 15 minutes – and take out 48 delicious, crispy and perfect-looking chips. As 

the steel tray is coated on both sides with Teflon Prima, the potato mix can be washed off 

with ease. A further advantage lies in the fact that the chips can be prepared completely 

without oil. This has to be the crowning argument for chip lovers who also happen to be 

conscious of their figure and general health. 

The tray measures approximately 38 x 28 cm, and, as a sign of confidence in its Germanmade 

quality, Zenker offers a five-year warranty. The chip baking tray is yet another example 

of the innovative strength of the Bavarian baking mould manufacturer. For more than a 

century, the name of Zenker has been synonymous with new ideas to make baking and 

cooking easier – fully in keeping with the company slogan "Baking that breaks the mould".

Deluxe baking mould range 

The Zenker Company is launching a new, high-quality baking mould range under the 

auspicious Deluxe name, with a total of twelve baking forms for the discerning hobby baker. 

What is truly outstanding about this range are its special features, high-quality coatings on 

the individual components and distinctive shapes. 

Among the particularly noteworthy features of the springform moulds are their enamel and 

ceramic bases, which are dishwasher-safe as well as acid- and cut-resistant; the moulds can 

even be used to serve the cake directly to the coffee table. All springform bases come with a 

protective rim to prevent the dough from escaping in the oven. The springform wall comes 

equipped with a high-quality Ilaflon Premium non-stick coating and will win over the home 

baker with its exceptional height of 8 cm – this makes it possible to bake unusually high 

cakes, which can also be used as a basis for gateaux. The excellent quality of the Deluxe 

range is underlined by the golden springform catch with its ergonomic form, which makes it 

easy to open and close the moulds. 

The Deluxe range is rounded off by ring cake and loaf tin moulds in both classical and 

modern versions and mega muffin and rosette moulds. 

All baking moulds in the Deluxe range are entirely made in Germany and come with a 10year 

warranty.

Art.No. 46844: “Diamond” Pepper/Salt Mill 

Classy, decorative and practical ! 

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend …. 

…and not just on a lady‟s finger. 

The glittering gems are also now to be found as decorative elements on 

many everyday products. 

And there‟s no reason this shouldn‟t apply to stylish eating and drinking ! 

That‟s why FACKELMANN is now offering beautiful pepper and salt mills 

that will grace any dinner table – in more than one sense. 

So what‟s special about them? 

The built-in decorative diamonds on the mill cap are not merely 

decorative: they also have a useful function. 

The size of the diamond shows the chosen milling coarseness setting. 

Simply turn the collar to change it. 

The mill body is made of food-safe plastic and comes in the colour 

combination black/silver. 

The salt/pepper reservoir is made of tough plastic; the milling mechanism 

comes in abrasion- and wear-proof ceramic. 

These 19 cm tall mills are perfect for spicing up your food, and provide a 

sumptuous decoration for your festive table ! 



21

Art.No. 47129: “Chicky” Egg Cup and Spoon 

Kids´ favourite egg cup ! 

As soon as happy little “Chicky” arrives on the table, the battle for the breakfast egg really 

heats up! Because even sceptical kids who haven't until now been very enthusiastic about 

boiled eggs will suddenly also want to start smashing them in! 

To “blame” is the comic egg cup from FACKELMANN, which comes with a matching egg 

spoon firmly clutched in its hand – or, rather, wing! 

Chicky holds the boiled egg firmly in its bowl, and its bright yellow-orange colour scheme 

encourages kids to eat a healthy and hearty breakfast. 

This smart egg cup is, like the spoon, made of strong, food-safe plastic and can be cleaned 

in the dishwasher. 

Chicky is happiest when he has company! So the best thing to do is to give the whole family 

a home by taking four or more sets away with you! 

The FACKELMANN egg cup set is available from most self-service stores and supermarkets. 



22

Art.No. 47403: Grapefruit Safe 

Smart, decorative and practical, all at the same time ! 

Box your half-grapefruit with FACKELMANN ! 

What‟s to be done when half a grapefruit is left over after breakfast? OK, so sour may be 

sweet, but a whole fruit is often simply too much ! 

Where, until now, you‟ve always had to resort to cling-film, you can now instead reach for the 

FACKELMANN grapefruit safe ! 

The grapefruit box in its yellow/white/orange design provides enough space even for the 

largest grapefruit half ! The fruit can be kept secure and will stay fresh and juicy for longer in 

the fridge. 

However, the attractive container can also happily be used for other purposes. Used as a 

small bowl, it offers space for snacks and nibbles. 

The FACKELMANN grapefruit safe is approx. 12 x 8 cm in size, is made of strong plastic and 

can easily be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

Our tip: FACKELMANN has a grapefruit spoon in its range for the convenient enjoyment of 

this fibrous fruit ! (art. 41416) 



23

Art.No. 54548: “Kreativ” Drinking Straw 

Bendy and trendy ! Now even in XXL ! 

Never go without again ! 

The new “Kreativ” drinking straws from FACKELMANN are a 

must for drinks at parties – for children and adults alike ! 

These bendy straws put the fun into cocktails and soft drinks. 

Thanks to their longer-than-usual bendable section, it‟s child‟s 

play to make funny shapes out of them. Circles, squares or, 

if you prefer, spirals. Give free rein to your creativity ! 

Mark out your drink with an individual design and eliminate 

the tedious problem of drink swapping at parties ! 

Or why not design a witty and creative love token ? 

A bend here, a twist there – and you‟ve got yourself a pretty heart. 

The colourful straws are 28 cm long, can be extended to 32.5 cm, and come packaged in 

orange, green, blue or assorted, each time in packs of 70. 

“Kreativ” straws from FACKELMANN are available from most self-service stores and 

supermarkets ! 



24

Art. No. 54610: Smoothie Drinking Straws 

At last ! Extra-fat straws for smoothies and shakes 

What you know and love from fast-food outlets and cafés you can now also enjoy at 

home ! 

We all know the situation – you‟ve made a fruit smoothie or delicious milkshake, but you 

don‟t have the right straw to drink it with ! Because normal straws are simply too narrow 

to allow the chunks of fruit to pass through. 

The new FACKELMANN drinking straws have been specially designed for these 

thick drinks and are distinguished by their incredible 10mm diameter. Milkshakes 

and smoothies finally become the real pleasure that they ought to be. 

The 20 cm long straws in pretty pastel shades are available in packs of 40 from 

most supermarkets and discount stores! 



25

Art.No. 60130: Multi-purpose Brush 

Fuss-free dusting ! 

Are you dust-free already ? Pity !!! 

This clever little cleaning aid from FACKELMANN provides two functions in one: Whilst one 

end comes equipped with a soft and fluffy microfibre brush, at the other a small, short-bristle 

brush is waiting to spring into action. 

This jack-of-all-trades has more uses than you can count: the little brush will for instance 

prove very useful for cleaning PC keyboards, car dashboards and PC or audio ventilation 

slots. 

The microfibre brush is suitable, for example, for dusting shelves, computer monitors or even 

large-leaf house plants. 

The overall length of the cleaning brush is 24 cm. 

And, thanks to the practical hole, the multi-purpose brush can be hung ready for action from 

any hook.

Art.No. 61030: Decorative sink plug 

Colour your basin ! 

Bath ducks are yellow. 

Bath plugs are black. 

But hard-and-fast “rules” like this are being put to the test by FACKELMANN. 

Our two decorative plugs bring colour and design into the washbasin, shower and kitchen 

sink ! 

These two plugs in colourful flower and starfish designs are approx. 6 cm wide, made in 

Germany out of strong plastic and can be used to seal standard plugholes of Ø 45 mm. 

The built-in triangular eye of rustproof stainless steel can easily be attached to a chain. 

And, if the plugs happen not to be in use, these colourful designer objects always look good 

on the side of the basin !

Art.No. 61490: Foldaway balcony or wardrobe hook 

Always there, almost invisible ! 

Whenever you need it, there it is ! 

The practical balcony/wardrobe hook from FACKELMANN emerges in the blink of an eye 

from its 2,5 cm-deep housing, letting you hang up and air items of clothing. 

The foldaway hook comes in matt-finished aluminium and is therefore rustproof and 

completely weather-proof. This lets you use it outside your home, on your balcony or terrace, 

so that you can hang up and air items of clothing in the fresh air. If necessary it can also 

easily be used as a clamping fixture for washing lines or garlands. 

The folding arm comes with 7 holes to stop coat hangers flying off in the wind. When not in 

use, the hook can unobtrusively be folded away, so that only an elegant aluminium rail is 

visible. 

Furthermore, the FACKELMANN foldaway hook can also be used inside your home. It can, 

for instance, serve as an alternative coat rack for your wardrobe. 

The balcony/wardrobe hook comes without screws and wall plugs, as the choice of these 

depends on the composition of the fixing surface. The rail is approx. 23,5 cm long and the 

arm measures roughly 21,5 cm.
