How it all began
Product designer Andreas Grieger develops one of the first seat belt-integrated motorhome seats.
The company becomes the "Aguti Produktentwicklung & Design GmbH" and moves from Mindelheim to Kressbronn. There, a greenhouse is converted into a production hall, where the first seats for "Knaus" are developed and produced with a handful of laborers.
Other motorhome manufacturers quickly catch on to the young company and the small, regional family business quickly develops into an internationally-operating business.
