Solingen is known as the German city of kings. 190 years ago, the story of the company Carl Schmidt Sohn began here, when it was registered as a trademark in 1829. Initially, swords were manufactured, and so successfully that already in 1830 more than 100 blacksmiths, grinders and workers were employed by Carl Schmidt Sohn. Soon they also produced cutlery, cutlery, razors, scissors and pocket knives. In the 1960s, cookware and kitchen utensils were added. In the following years, the business became more and more international and the products of the Carl Schmidt Sohn GmbH were sold under the brands Carl Schmidt Sohn and CS-KOCHSYSTEME in over 40 countries worldwide.

Under the new ownership structure, the company was finally rebuilt in 2012. At the same time, the product lines were renewed, so that today Carl Schmidt Sohn is optimally prepared for the future with a contemporary range. Knives, cutlery, cookware and kitchen utensils reflect the core competence of the Solingen company.

In 2014, Carl Schmidt Sohn GmbH took over the distribution and trademark rights of selected "Michelangelo" cutlery (Michelin-Besteckfabrik GmbH). Thus, another traditional brand enriches the portfolio of Carl Schmidt Sohn GmbH.
