About Croll & Denecke
The heart of our company beats in the depths of the sea. There, a good 40 meters below the water surface, sponges grow - a true miracle of nature. With their silky texture, they are durable, versatile and extra gentle on the skin. Our story begins with the fascination for these creatures:
In 1897, Gustav Croll and Theodor Denecke decided to import raw sponges from the Greek Mediterranean to Bremen and refine them by hand here. We still do it today - but in the meantime we have expanded our product range to include sustainable wellness and household products. We, that is Peter, Nina and Sara Hankiewicz, third and fourth generation of the company. Our mission: sustainable skin and body care products that feel good and in harmony with nature.
It was a long way to get there. Originally, others also wanted to take this step: when it was founded, Croll & Denecke was not alone with the idea of trading in sponges. At that time there were still over a hundred companies in Germany. Only a few of these are left - many did not find successors, others did not survive the wars. Croll & Denecke was spared both. In 1928 our grandfather joined the company, followed in 1958 by our father Peter Hankiewicz. Since 2008 and 2019, in addition to Peter Hankiewicz, the daughters Nina and Sara Hankiewicz have been part of the management board.
family and business? That doesn't go together, some say. It's different with us. We are strong as a family, it has always been like this. At Croll & Denecke, the third and fourth generations work hand in hand – for a long time we even did it under one roof. We learn from each other and grow together. Many years of experience meet new ideas and impulses. This brings us further as a company - and makes our products and working methods constantly better.
We are still successful with this today: As a wholesaler for natural sponges, we are the market leader in Europe. We export our products from Bremen Vahr to over 50 countries - and every year there are more.
