ZIENER Teamwear 2021/2022

In 1946, master glove maker Franz Ziener Senior founded his glove factory in Oberammergau, thus laying the foundations of the compa- ny’s success story. While the focus was initially on high-quality, handmade fashion gloves, ZIENER increasingly specialised in high-tech, innovative gloves for the winter and bike sports sectors. A wide-ranging functional clothing line completed the product portfolio. With 75 years of obsession with winter and mountain sports as well as professional expertise in the latest technologies, ZIENER is now one of the market leaders in winter sports gloves. This expertise has been continuously expanded thanks to good, long-standing collaborations with national and international winter sports associations, such as the DSV, DSLV, ÖSV as well as successful athletes. 1946 Master glove maker Franz Ziener Senior and his family move from the Erzgebirge mountain region in eastern Germany to Oberammergau, where Franz sets up a glove making workshop.
