Stucken Melchers

Stucken Melchers GmbH & Co. KG operates as one of Europe's leading trading companies in the natural fiber sector, formed in 1997 through the merger of two historic Bremen-based enterprises: C. Melchers GmbH & Co. KG (founded 1806) and Stucken GmbH & Co. KG (operational since 1863). The company specializes in importing, storing, and wholesaling premium natural fibers, including wool, silk, luxury animal fibers such as cashmere and camel wool, and plant fibers like ramie and hemp, along with sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibers. With most products certified under OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and select fibers holding GOTS certification, Stucken Melchers serves diverse clients worldwide who produce apparel, home textiles, technical textiles, nonwovens, insulation materials, felts, and hand-knitting yarns.

The company maintains strategic storage facilities in multiple European locations, with primary warehousing in Bremen, Germany, supplemented by inventory points in Italy (Biella and Prato) and Belgium (Verviers) to ensure rapid delivery to clients. This distribution network benefits from the combined strengths of Stucken's established wool trading experience and Melchers' robust presence in Asian markets. Beyond traditional trading activities, Stucken Melchers has expanded into processing and marketing German and European wool, while also distributing various products from the Stucken Group's processing and spinning operations in South Africa, with particular emphasis on hand-knitting yarns produced in their spinning mill and available through a stock service in Bremen.

At its core, Stucken Melchers positions itself not merely as a supplier of premium raw materials but as a comprehensive service provider in the modern trading landscape. The business philosophy centers on collaborative and personal partnerships with both clients and suppliers, offering specialized consultation, customized product ranges, consistent quality control, and expedited delivery timeframes. This service-oriented approach is executed by a highly qualified team leveraging decades of industry expertise, ensuring that Stucken Melchers remains a trusted partner for textile manufacturers seeking high-quality natural fibers tailored to specific production requirements.
