About us

General

Wet shaving - that is our topic and we know all about it. Since 1980 we have been producing high-quality accessories for wet shaving in our own factory. You won't find our products everywhere, but in specialist shops that place great value on sound advice and have a certain flair for special, unusual things. That is why requests for individual custom-made products, such as a shaving set made of solid gold, are not uncommon. We not only know how to manufacture shaving brushes and shavers of the highest quality, but also supply shaving soap and conditioning balm of the same quality to match. We create products that people like to use, look at and feel comfortable with for a long time.

History

Werner Pils founded a sole proprietorship in Stuttgart in 1980 to produce self-designed, high-quality shaving accessories. The reason for this was that the market offered nothing that could meet his demands. Thanks to his many years as sales manager of a leading cosmetics group, he was able to build on his profound knowledge of the market. His shaving utensils, which are elaborately handcrafted, enjoyed ever-increasing popularity. Today the products of the PILS brand are among the best in the world. In 2003 Werner Pils retired from active business life and handed over the PILS GmbH to his successor Micha Birkhofer, who successfully continues the company.

Philosophy

Products

Our aim is to create products that are not only beautiful, but also suitable for everyday use and durable. That is why we make no compromises in the selection of raw materials, we process at the highest quality level, give our products a timeless design and constantly test them for functionality.

Environment

As a manufacturer, we are also committed to protecting the environment, which we also expect from our suppliers. We avoid unnecessarily long transport distances, use transport packaging several times and use outer packaging made of recycled material. We purchase electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources and also pay attention to sustainability when selecting our partners. For example, our Internet presence is operated by a web host who also only uses green electricity.

human

People are important to us. We could not exist without our customers and without our reliable business partners and employees. Therefore it is a matter of course for us to treat each other respectfully and to see every suggestion and criticism as a chance to become even better.
