HEALTHY? OFF YOUR SOCKS!
When it comes to high-quality legwear, the fourth generation at Strumpfwerke LINDNER is already ‘on the socks’. In existence since 1890, the company is the oldest family-owned hosiery factory in Germany. To this day, the Hohenstein-Ernstthal-based company has made a name for itself beyond the borders of Europe: through traditional production and pioneering innovations in the fields of fashion, sport and medicine. For example, LINDNER has developed hosiery made from a silver-containing yarn that is particularly suitable for the special requirements of diabetics.
