Start the time travel.
An anniversary book · 1976 – 2026
You’ve seen the history. Now tell usYOUR STORY.
For 50 years, this industry has been shaped by studios, people, machines, customers, trade fairs, big ideas and unforgettable moments.
Now we are collecting the stories behind it: the funny ones, the moving ones, the strange ones, the ones only you can tell.
What we are looking for
Funny stories, no boring chronicles.
We are not looking for perfect company histories. We are looking for real memories. Anything that mattered to you – or made you laugh – is worth telling.
The funny moments
Trade-fair chaos, sleepy customers, the marketing flop nobody talks about anymore, moments nobody forgot.
The personal moments
Your first day in the studio. Your first machine. Loyal customers, team moments, people who stayed with you.
The big moments
Openings, milestones, goodbyes, comebacks, old posters, vintage photos, the day everything changed.
Whether you own a studio, build machines, sell lamps, report on the industry, worked behind the counter or simply stayed loyal as a customer – if you were part of this world, your story belongs here.
How it works
Three steps. That’s all.
...now it's your turn.
Send us the story only you can tell.
...now it is your turn.
Send us the story only you can tell.
GOOD TO KNOW
What happens next.
We come back if anything is unclear
If a date is missing, a name is unclear or a caption needs a second pair of eyes – we write to you.
Your language stays your language
We print your contribution in the language you sent it in. A short factual English summary is added.
The book is layouted by a person
Please do not send pre-designed pages. Just text and images. We take it from there and place every story by hand.
Your rights, our promise
We do not change your story behind your back. We use the material for the book and for communication around it – nothing further.
Become part of the book about the 50-year history of the tanning industry.
One open page is waiting for your story. The next one might already be yours.
Deadline: 30. September 2026
