Since the beginning of Fahnen Kössinger we have been building on cohesion. This does not only mean the cohesion in a club or in a community. We pay special attention to the interpersonal togetherness and promote events that create a special added value for our society.
We are a broad-based company with both feet firmly planted in two different market segments. On the one hand, we take care of club customers with our club and festival supplies, who make use of our decades of experience, as well as our very talented embroiderers, and have their old club flags elaborately restored by us. However, we equally offer a large assortment of advertising materials, printed products, and clothing that can be refined.

In the field of textile advertising, we can also provide a comprehensive spectrum for the optimal presentation of companies, products and brands.
