How we would have loved to have invented the sausage slicer. But we weren't! We never found the origin. Sausage slicers are said to have existed over 30 years ago. Well, many say they invented them. We had the slicer in some of them's range before they invented it... 😊
This is our truth:
Our first contact with a sausage slicer was by chance. A gift from his son Sandro, the slicer is used by founder Andreas Schmid at markets to taste the famous wild sausage, without any intention of selling it. It makes cutting quicker and easier. The reaction from customers was great. Many were enthusiastic and wanted to buy the slicer. So the manufacturer of the gifted slicer was sought out and the slicers were eventually added to the range. More slicers were quickly needed. This is how the various workshops for people with disabilities came into play. Some of them had already produced the slicers before. Others were newly discovered.
We have further invented:
But we didn't stop at the sausage slicer, we continued to develop it. The quality of the sausage slicer was continually improved and the salami slicer was created. This is the big brother of the sausage slicer for cutting larger pieces of meat. The patented, and thus protected, sausage and cheese slicer KOMBI was also developed. This combines the sausage slicer and the cheese slicer in a simple, safe and space-saving way.
