From visions and curtains
It started in the lively city of Zurich in 1939 when Walter Stotz laid the foundation for the wholesale company Stotz & Company AG. The times were unsure, but Walter had a vision and a considerable trade knowledge in the trade in storage, especially for men's shirts. Stotz & Company AG quickly made his tireless commitment and dedication to the undisputed market leader in the industry.
The decades passed, and in 1979 Walter Stotz 'son, Andreas Stotz, came into his father's footsteps at just 22 years. Andreas recognized the changing needs of the market and founded his own department for curtain materials in wholesale within the company. For years, the trade in curtain fabrics for Swiss specialist retailers flourished under his leadership.
In 1993 there was a profound change. Stotz Decor AG was split off and focused entirely on curtains. With the entire workforce and under the leadership of Andreas Stotz and his wife Beate Stotz, the company moved to the Zurich area, where they moved into a spacious warehouse and modern office space. This strategic decision ensured that they could do justice to their customers even better.
From the pioneering spirit in Zurich to the curtain specialist
In 2009, after a successfully completed business studies, Daniela Arnold, the daughter of Andreas and Beate Stotz, entered the company. She had been fascinated by her family's business since childhood.
Daniela, full of drive and enthusiasm, entered the family business and brought new, young blood with it. She quickly realized that the step into the digital world was inevitable to ensure the future viability of the company. While she respected her family's values and heritage, she was determined to equip the company for the challenges of the 21st century.
In 2017, Daniela was ready to take her first big step towards digitization. She founded a small online shop that specialized in children's curtains. It was a daring attempt to test the new sales channel of online sales. With her deep understanding of the industry and her feel for the needs of customers, she developed a selection of children's curtains that were both stylish and functional.
The reaction to her online shop was overwhelmingly positive. Customers appreciated the high -quality products and the comfortable purchase from home. The small children's curtains quickly became a seller, and the online shop achieved steadily increasing sales.
Daniela used this experience to further expand the company's digital presence. Over time, Daniela integrated digital technologies into all aspects of the company, from warehouse management to customer service. This led to a significant increase in efficiency and an improvement in the customer experience.
Today, years after Daniela's brave step into the digital world, Stotz Decor AG is a prime example of successful digitization in a traditional family business. They kept their roots, but also designed the future. Daniela Arnold's determination and innovation spirit not only shaped the company, but also the entire industry, and they prove that tradition and modern hand can go in hand.
