In 2009 an old street in Karlsruhe-Knielingen is given a new name. A small thing to most people, it is in fact a big deal to Adam Wieland. With the company definitely growing, it now has the perfect address: Egon-Eiermann-Allee 12.

Showroom, metal workshop, storage space, offices and living quarters as well as an underground car park are now housed on 2,200 sqm. The production is completely transparent: Visitors can follow the path from the steel pipe to the finished E2.

The showroom presents the different E2 models and their accessories – from height adjuster to the stool. This is the birthplace of a dependable, hand-made companion, created from 168 possible combinations. And of its story, which it will readily recount.

Planning and consulting. Production and packaging. Loading and delivery. Operations at Egon-Eiermann-Allee 12 are run by a small team of true professionals. They ensure that every weld is solid; and that every E2 arrives exactly where it’s been eagerly expected.

The metal workshop transforms a six metre steel pipe into a finished E2. In between are some 15 stages – from sawing and cutting to welding and drilling. Each specimen is unique, a product of the passion that Adam Wieland has lived for more than 50 years.
