Koziol is a famous German company which specializes in designer plastic products for the household. I recently visited their headquarters in Odenwald, Germany, and am doing a series of posts about what I saw. This is the third… if you missed the previous ones click here: Part1 and Part2.

In the next post I’ll blog about their shipping department, so don’t miss it. Please subscribe to the Random Good Stuff RSS Feed.
