About Us
The family-owned business Otto Keller manufactures high-quality down- and feather-filled bedding. The success of our classic duvets and pillows is founded on the combination of state-of-the-art machinery and responsible expertise in manufacturing. Otto Keller represents the best “Made in Germany” quality for more than 70 years. The down and feather manufactory was founded in 1946 by engineer Otto Keller and his wife Elisabeth. In 1982, the current owner and managing director Gerhard Wienker took over the company. Under his leadership, Otto Keller GmbH & Co. KG has established itself as one of the leading down and feather manufactories in the European market.
Our Employees
From down to duvet
Our manufacturing procedure begins with the processing of the raw materials. From washing and drying, to sorting the ready-for-filling down and feathers, all steps of refinement are carried out by experienced specialists and state-of-the-art machines. To ensure consistent high quality, the so-called semi-finished product is first thoroughly mixed and then transported into filling machines, which distribute it across high-quality cotton covers. After filling, a custom label is sewn into each product. Our careful quality controls guarantee that only first-class bedding leave the factory.

„Made in Germany“ Quality
Our bedding is produced exclusively in Wesphalian Altenberge. On top of the refinement of down and feathers and the production of duvets and pillows, all our logistical processes take place here. In our modern warehouses, we process a large number of orders every day, the majority of which are shipped throughout Europe that same day. The company has its own sewing studio, which allows us to flexibly implement special customer requests, such as special sizes, colours, shapes or fillings.

Our production process
Restful sleep is our top priority. In order to create the best sleeping conditions, we individually produce our duvets and pillows according to customer requirements. Thanks to consistently high quality standards and controls, we can assure our customers that all items that leave our facilities are first class. In order to be able to deliver these as quickly as possible, we are continuously optimising our logistics capabilities.

Mixing
In order to ensure consistent fill power and quality for different delivery batches, the down and feathers are loosened up and thoroughly mixed before filling.
Filling
While the refined and sorted finished filling product is distributed to different silos, we lay covers out ready, with the appropriate stitching in ease case. Our bedding products are produced using special multi-pipe systems or manual filling machines.
Sewing
In our sewing studio, we process individual customer requests, for example custom sizes to measure. In addition, individual brand labels and quality markings are applied here.
Packing and shipping
A large number of our standard items are ready for immediate shipment as stocked goods (drop-shipping). Thanks to flexible production options, we can pack and ship our products within one day.
Our philosophy
Knowing that one’s daily sleep at night is nothing short of a basic human need, and that comfort while sleeping means greater quality of life, we approach what we do with particular conscientiousness. Our aim is to continuously and sustainably improve our customers’ satisfaction. We therefore produce at the highest level and practise an open, fair communication style – with our customers, employees and suppliers.
