Schmidt & Schmidt celebrates its tenth anniversary

Dear friends, customers and business partners!

Schmidt & Schmidt celebrates its 10th anniversary this autumn.

It would be insincere to say that all these 10 years passed unnoticed. It has been a long and difficult journey. I remember me and Alexey, my brother and regular business partner, registering the company in September 2011. We had just finished our studies at the University of Passau. I only had 300 euros in my account. This money became our first capital, from which the fees for the registration of the GbR Schmidt & Schmidt were paid.
