4 COMPETENCE FROM TRADITION. Due to our longstanding experience within the design studio sector, technical expertise and the high service quality, Kolb Design Technology GmbH & Co. KG is the reliable partner to provide your studio with modern design equipment. Moreover, Kolb Design Technology offers all technical services - from international customer service and training to technical support and consulting. Our product range includes different clay types, clay tools, modeling slicks, studio equipment such as clay ovens, portable lifts and much more After the invention of plasticine by the pharmacist Franz Kolb a new age of sculptural design begins. As his successor the company Kolb produces and supplies materials and solutions for the design sector. A main focus has always been the design model construction Kolb Technology GmbH was founded in The focus of the company was the development of milling machines - especially for design studios in the automotive industry. With innovative solutions, solid milling technology and an excellent service, Kolb became a competent and reliable partner within short time Moreover, 2011 Kolb took over the range of materials, tools and accessories of the former Franz Kolb GmbH and thus turned to a full-service supplier and main contact for all aspects of clay styling Kolb was integrated into the STREICHER Group. Under the new name Kolb Design Technology GmbH & Co. KG still supports customers of the automotive design sector of all over the world and maintains the strategic focus of innovator and pioneer within design studio equipment and model milling. 4
