In 1948, Hans Clemens and his sister started making bears by hand out
of the old blankets left behind by the German armed forces.
Soon after he opened a toy shop in Mannheim but was asked so many times
for his wonderful bears that he started his own bear factory.
As the German economy started to flourish, demand increased dramatically
and this has continued for over 50 years.
Today Clemens is run by Hans' son, Peter, and his wife but the unmistakable
style and quality of the bears has not changed over all these years.
The company motto is "for our children only the best is good enough"
and all Clemens employees take a special pride in making the most beautiful
teddies and plush animals.
The famous red Clemens label is a symbol which guarantees quality, unique
designs, skilled craftmanship and the very best and safest materials.
Clemens have received many international awards for their ranges and now
have several bear artists working exclusively for them. They include:-
Ren Bears
Martina Lehr
Jack & Marion Finhold
Simone Wilhelm
Eleonore Unkel-Schaufelin
Margarete Nedballa
Isabella Hoffmann
Nadja Bears
Ko Kyung Won
All Clemens limited edition bears come with their own personalised certificate
and are highly prized by collectors around the world.
