What FINZEL&SCHUCK does

FINZEL&SCHUCK is a family-owned German corporate group headquartered in Limbach-Oberfrohna, Saxony, founded in 1990 by Henry Schuck as a trading representation for Gustav Daiber GmbH. The group operates through five legal entities — Finzel & Schuck GmbH (full-service merchandising, e-commerce, logistics), Finzel + Schuck ProduktionsGmbH & Co. KG (confection, embroidery, textile printing), HSP Henry Schuck (sales), FSC Michael Finzel (sales office in Göppingen), and ps:dreizehn UG (digital innovations) — and currently employs approximately 45 people across German operations and a Czech embroidery facility in Havlíčkův Brod.

The group's offering spans the full merchandise and textile-production value chain: marketing conception, in-house design and product development, customized promotional items sourced globally, embroidery using ZSK and Tajima machinery (including 3D cap embroidery), textile printing (Flockdruck, Transferdruck, Siebdruck), custom textile manufacturing and private-label production in Europe and Asia, proprietary multi-shop e-commerce platform solutions with integrated ERP/CRM and warehouse management, plus logistics and fulfillment services via DHL and Deutsche Post partnerships. Production extends across Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Portugal, China, and India, with Fair-Trade, Ökotex, and GOTS certification options available.

Commercially, FINZEL&SCHUCK operates a B2B sales-led motion with five specialized sales divisions and a custom quotation-based pricing model. Revenue is generated across four streams: merchandise and promotional-product sales, e-commerce solutions and commission-based fan-shop fulfillment, textile manufacturing and private-label production, and logistics/warehousing. Strategic main-supplier relationships with Radeberger Gruppe (since 2002) and Europa-Park Shopping GmbH (since 2004) anchor the customer base, supplemented by distribution partnerships with premium apparel brands including Stanley Stella, Hakro, Clique, Craft, and Cutter and Buck. Current managing directors Alexander Schuck and Michael Walther lead the group following a 2012 restructuring from OHG to GmbH.
