What we stand for
Goods for green
We love nature – and we love what we do. We have been producing high-quality products for the home and garden for over 70 years so that your and our customers can enjoy nature in their garden or on their balcony.
We do not manufacture in East Asia, even though that might be cheaper. We manufacture in Germany. Because we have principles and high standards for ourselves.
History
Geli – the history of a watering can
The successful sale of metal watering cans was followed by a breakthrough: in 1961, the Lippert brothers managed to produce a plastic watering can from one mould – the first German company to do so. A classic which can now be found in every second garden in Germany. This was followed by further patents, and plastic began to replace metal in production. Geli Thermo-Plastic Gebr. Lippert GmbH was born. In 2001, the company passed to the next generation.
Under the managing directors Thomas Lippert and Günther Lippert, Geli underwent a process of rejuvenation and was rebranded Geli GmbH. Today, Geli produces almost four million plastic watering cans per year and offers a total of over 5,000 products in its range.
