What drives us
is what you can really see and touch: genuine material, careful workmanship and a result that fits just right. Much of it is made right here in-house, with direct communication and one dedicated contact – so we can stand behind our quality, and we know exactly what we can promise you.
Our Story
How we went from reselling goods to making our own.
Bütic GmbH was founded in 2015, initially selling only bought-in goods, but with one vision: to develop our own product ideas using laser technology and bring them to life. The first machine – shown in the photo on the right – was purchased, and that used up almost all of the starting capital. Thanks to a large order from a well-known car manufacturer, this first laser earned the money for the second machine. Out of that experience came a constant stream of new product ideas, which we've kept developing ever since. Today we develop and make over 3,400 products ourselves – plus a separate warehouse for bought-in goods. There's no end in sight.

Our Team
Meet the people behind Bütic.
Behind every piece that reaches you from Pößneck are our own hands, our time and a bit of heart. From first contact to finished product, we personally make sure everything is just right in the end. Eight colleagues, one small, close-knit team – feel free to get to know us a little.
Christian
Management / Technology & IT
Whether it's a computer in the office, a laser in production, or an order that's stuck in the shop – when something isn't working, Christian gets called. And he usually figures out the cause very quickly.
It's his mission to keep pushing our shop and the processes behind it to the next level. He also answers enquiries about custom-made items and picks up the phone whenever Wayne isn't around.
On the side, he also looks after keywords and ads, so people can find us easily on Google.
Michael
Management / Purchasing
Michael trained in retail – and he lives that profession every day. He handles purchasing – from raw materials for production to stocked goods – and calculates the prices to go with it. That's why price enquiries from customers usually land on his desk.
With his purchasing decisions and a feel for what's in demand, he keeps the warehouse well stocked. To keep it organised, he pitches in himself: restocking shelves, putting goods away and logging incoming stock.
Whenever a gap appears on a shelf, it usually doesn't take Michael long to fill it again.
Wayne
Customer Service
This year Wayne completed his vocational training in e-commerce. He's looked after our customer service from the very start – and, to all our delight, he'll keep doing so.
Together with Christian, he's also working on continuously improving the shop and back office. He readily takes on other tasks too. Ask him if he can help out for a moment, and he pretty much never says no – whatever it's about.
Judith
Graphic design & customer service
For custom-made orders, Judith is your contact: she answers your enquiries and finds the right solution with you – whether it's names, logos or your own motifs – and she creates the final artwork herself.
On the side, she also writes our product descriptions and keeps the blog running. Our social media presence is coming soon too – she's already working on it.
Sandra
Warehouse & Shipping
Sandra has been with us from the very beginning. As soon as an order comes in, she gets moving: gathering the items, packing them, sticking on the shipping label – and off it goes. Together with Wayne, she also handles returns and puts returned goods back into stock. When maintaining our product listings, she also keeps attributes and descriptions in the shop up to date – she keeps things running smoothly.
Steffen
Workshop & Woodworking
Steffen has been with the company since it was founded. He's our go-to person for the heavy work – and for pretty much everything else too. Mainly he stains our plywood in our 37 stain colours and varnishes it, and saws, planes and flames birch wood for that lovely rustic look. In short: without Steffen, a lot of things around here would look pretty rough-edged and single-coloured.
Rica
Production
Rica has been with us almost from the start – she began in the warehouse, and for a few years now she's been in production. There she's our jack-of-all-trades: wherever help is needed, she's on it – from A to Z, no ifs or buts.
When Sandra is enjoying her well-earned holiday, Rica also helps out with shipping.
Anita
Production
Anita started out in shipping a few years ago but has since moved into production. She likes it best where things get tricky – the more intricate the task, the more she enjoys it.
Just like Rica, she also helps out with shipping when Sandra is enjoying her well-earned holiday.
