Tom Tailor

In 1962 the Hanseatic Uwe Schröder and Hans-Heinrich Pünjer founded the company HENKE & CO - which initially concentrated on selling textiles profitably. First official act: the sale of Indian terry towels. More men's clothing follows - until the first corduroy trousers are marketed under the name "Tom". The cornerstone of an idea has been laid.

Uwe Schröder's spirit of discovery showed itself early: in 1967 he went on a 35-hour flight to Hong Kong in order to open a new production facility there on his own - long before such an adventure was common in the industry. He paves the way for himself and ultimately establishes his first factory in Vietnam ... which was destroyed again in 1969 during the Vietnam War.
