At the end of August of last year I heard that the founder of KESO, Mr. Ernst Keller had passed away on 30th June 2015 at the age of 85 which touched me deeply.

Even before my brother and I were officially co-heading the company at the beginning of 2015 we had already started to introduce some changes to the company. This allowed us to start our new online shop at the beginning of 2015.

Since 1991 I have been working as a workshop technician for the Wendt company. Apart from my 25 year staff membership in the company I am currently also the oldest employee here. Due to this fact I have accompanied the transition from the conventional production in the beginning to the computer regulated one of today.

After my apprenticeship I would never have dreamed that one day I would work with locks and picking tools. When I think back today that I had to make a warded lock by hand for my trade test I believe it to be a twist of fate.
