About us
From the first Rope Play Equipment to the Full-Service Provider
The first steps towards Berliner Seilfabrik were made in 1865, when a factory producing ropes for the Berlin elevator industry was founded. The quality of the Berliner ropes gained a worldwide reputation. In the early 70s, the company created the first spatial net climbing structure and began the world’s first production of rope play equipment. Today, Berliner Seilfabrik is an international play equipment manufacturer and a full-service provider with around 150 employees, a subsidiary in the USA, and a strong partner network across the globe. Children can climb and play on Berliner structures across 56 countries.
Our family-owned company, based in Berlin’s Reinickendorf district, is already being run by the second generation of the Köhler family with the utmost dedication and commitment. We are proud to be one of the world’s leading and recognised manufacturers of playground equipment, producing high-quality, unique, modern, and versatile play structures with high play value in Berlin, while continuing to grow through constant development and innovation of our products.
Over 50 Years of Experience in Playground Equipment
Our claim “Play equipment for life” means a lot to us. It defines the way we work and construct playgrounds. In our over 50 years of experience in playground equipment, we have built up an extensive product range with creative ideas and industry expertise. We offer unforgettable, fascinating designs for all types of play, whether indoors or outdoors. Sensory play elements form essential neural connections in the human brain. Therefore, we make sure that our play equipment consists of different surfaces as well as reacting materials. By using materials such as rope, rubber belt membranes, metal or wood, the children learn to perceive their surroundings consciously. Our play equipment is durable, safe, 100% made in Germany, and built to last for generations. We pay special attention to the sustainability of our materials and and thus the created products.
Innovation, Expertise and Quality
National and international patents of most of our products are proof of our individuality and technical edge. The broad expertise of our company is highly appreciated worldwide. We are permanent and active members of the German, European and American Standards Committee for sports and leisure equipment.
As an innovative full-service provider for playgrounds, we accompany you throughout the entire project and across all development stages of your individual playground: from the initial planning to the maintenance of the completed structure. Due to our own in-house production and the wide range of our play equipment, along with the extensive services, we offer you top quality and maximum flexibility in the implementation of your wishes.
