    This summer, we had a chance to visit the headquarters of @Schmedt - The World of Bookbinding -- a well-known German producer and distributor of all things related to book craft!

    One of the reasons for our visit was to kickstart a partnership between iBookBinding and Schmedt. From now on, you can buy a selected line of iBookBinding tools in Schmedt's webshop. Specifically printed in the colors the customers of this German company are quite used to! =)

    In this video, we discuss the company's history, aspects of running a family business for several generations, finding a balance between selling to artisans and larger companies, and much more!

    In the second part of our talk, we continue this discussion and are invited for a tour of Schmedt's showroom and warehouse.
