25th Anniversary WWF Stamp Collection
GROTH AG UPDATE
Article in Newsletter "The Nature of Business" WWF International January 2007
When Hans Groth, CEO of Groth AG, signed the contract with WWF in 1982, he was confident the WWF Stamp Collection would be a long-term product that would last for at least 10 years! Today, Hans is proud to say that the collection - the largest thematic collection in the world - is still selling well and that his company will soon be celebrating a quarter of a century of collaboration with WWF. It is projected that the Collection will continue to be produced at least until 2011 when WWF will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. | |
To date over one billion stamps and almost 400 issues have been printed and sold, generating more than 20 million Swiss francs in royalties - an important source of funding for WWF's conservation activities. Groth AG was established by Hans Groth in 1965. lt is a family-owned business of which Hans is the CEO and his son Daniel a member of the Board of Directors. Hans' wife Anita is responsible for production of the WWF Stamp Collection. Their offices are in Unteraegeri (Zug, Switzerland), a charming town in the foothills of the Swiss Alps. At its 1998 Annual Conference in Interlaken (Switzerland), WWF awarded Hans Groth the Gold Panda Award - the organization's highest environmental prize - in recognition of his dedication to the cause of the environment. Hans and Anita have expressed their pleasure at working with WWF, saying: "We wish to thank the team at WWF International for their confidence which has allowed us to produce this beautiful collection over the past 25 years."
