"I dream of another lockdown!" 🃏 It's not everyday you hear those words, but Dieter Strehl - CEO of Viennese playing card and board game manufacturer Piatnik - recalls playfully how business boomed when countless people stuck inside turned to playing cards and board games for entertainment. 🎲 For 201 years, #Piatnik has been a family-run enterprise, overcoming wars, social unrest, economic instability and pandemics to become a household name. It has produced truly iconic games - if you've ever pulled out a pack of Rummy cards or gathered round for a game of Activity or Smart 10, you know their products. 🏭 Since its founding, the company has manufactured all of its products right here in Vienna. Piatnik embodied Viennese manufacturing values from the go: high-quality products, #innovation and savvy business acumen.
