Infrared cabins
Made in Germany - Developed in Austria
More than just a lettering!
Innovation from the DACH region
Much of what we use in everyday life or on special occasions bears the label Made in Germany. We associate this with quality, reliability and attribute a long life to the products. Not for nothing, we at Physiotherm have also taken up our cause and developed our cabins into products that can have the lettering engraved on them. Because we stand for consistent design that shines from the outside as well as the inside and work every day to develop this further.
Manufacturing Made in Germany is all about words with substance, backed by people who deliver on a promise with love and care. This means that every single work process is subject to a precise eye, from conception and research to realization, when a new infrared cabin finds its way to you. Read on to find out what this means in detail and how Made in Germany came to be.
A quality feature with a history - an excursion overseas
On August 23, 1887, the lettering was born. Made in Germany was to appear on German knives from then on when the British Trade Mark Act was passed. Because the British were not amused: As manufacturers of high-quality cutting tools, such as razor blades, scissors and knives made from cast steel, they realized that copies of their work from Germany were increasingly circulating in Great Britain and its colonies. However, these were mass-produced items made from unhardened cast iron, which could not match the quality of the British original. For example, the words "Sheffield Made" could be found on some tools, which of course did not correspond to the truth.
Angered by this and worried about competition, the British government was forced to act. They could have introduced protective tariffs on German goods, but this would have been to their own detriment: As an exporting nation, it was a real benefit to them at the time to be faced with few global tariff barriers. So they decided instead to set an example in a different way, from which they could benefit and attribute a characteristic to German goods. Made in Germany was therefore originally intended as a warning sign that articulated a lack of quality. Who would have thought that the lettering once did not have a particularly good reputation? However, this was not to remain the case for long, as the story continues: German manufacturers endeavored to offer high-quality products on the market and caught up with this mentality at the end of the 19th century in order to free themselves from the stigma attached to them. Now it was not only cutting tools that were of the highest quality, but also furniture, fashion, other tools and much more that increasingly came to the attention of domestic and foreign consumers. This is one of the reasons why we speak today of the German economic miracle at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century.
From history to the present - Physiotherm's promise
The Physiotherm brand has committed itself to this because of the meaningful past and the responsibility that goes with it. We are aware of the determination of previous generations who lived up to the words Made in Germany a strength that we must continue to fulfill today. What does it mean when something is made in Germany? What must be guaranteed? Where is the best place to start? We have decided to incorporate the time-honored tradition of craftsmanship as a seal of quality into our infrared cabins and our activities. In times of mechanization and machinery, it has never been more important to keep alive such a valuable asset as craftsmanship, which is in danger of gradually becoming a fossil. Only with craftsmanship can we ensure that everything we develop meets a certain standard. People should not only be behind the design of cabins or in the research and development department that deals with infrared technology; reliable minds should also be at work in production itself in order to conscientiously complete the long journey from the idea to the design to the final result.
We want to do our job well and therefore focus on quality rather than quantity - even though the idea was originally conceived in Austria. So we keep it that way: Made in Germany - developed in Austria. And this dedication is something to be proud of: We have already received a number of awards with great pleasure and pride. They are testimony to the efforts that we gladly undertake, goals that we passionately pursue and want to make come true, always with an eye to the future. Because at the end of the day, it's all about your health, which we approach with care and an alert mind.
