TECCEM is developer, manufacturer and distributor of special, lubricants. The product line from TECCEM includes chemical resistant lubricants, chemically inert greases, high temperature greases and chain oils, high vacuum greases, assembly greases, white greases and greases for hot-forming acrylic glass.
Making replicas of Springerle cookie molds was a complete new product line. TECCEM helped us to get this product line started in Germany.
Because of increasing workload in the lubricant business and investments which would be mandatory for a series production of the cookie molds made us decide to shift the Springerle mold product line completely to our friends at Dukasi.
However, TECCEM will be still available to help us if needed.

About TECCEM
After the decision to create and offer our own line of Springerle cookie molds the company of my son was the first choice. Luckily he accepted our proposal.
Working together with TECCEM and making our own molds had many advantages:
• TECCEM is since many years a successful manufacturer and world wide distributor of specialty lubricants. Many of these high tech products have been developed by TECCEM to meet specific customer requests. All this experience and know how will be beneficial for our product line of Springerle molds. Selling food grade lubricants from "Petro Canada" and Tribology Tech-Lube" is an additional source of knowledge for making safe products.
• the business stays in the family and continuity is guaranteed. The problem with not having the merchandise in stock which customers demand should be solved.
• the expertise of TECCEM is very beneficial in offering molds which do not pose any health hazards during production and use.
Only non-poisonous materials and safe processes will be used. Contact with lubricants will be excluded by using a special assigned and enclosed production area. The same quality standards as for the specialty lubricants will be used.
• the cookie molds can be sold world wide without any restrictions.
TECCEM is located in Suhl which is a well known town in the southern part of beautiful Thuringia.
Thuringia is one of the "New States" of Germany which means it was part of the GDR (East Germany) before the unification. TECCEM selected Suhl as a place for business because of its excellent connections by "Autobahns" and train to all major places of the EU. Thuringia was always known for excellent craftsmanship.

TECCEM was manufacturing the first casting molds for the productions. They are made out of food safe silicone rubber.
As you can see, we also purchased antique wooden molds which will be copied. The advantage of owing the original molds is that you can use it over and over again to make a good quality casting mold. A copy of a copy is never a good solution. Parallel to this work, TECCEM did trials with different casting materials for the production molds and surface finish. We involve specialists from the suppliers to get optimal results. We will send samples to selected customers for their comments. |  |
About Dukasi
Thanks to our activities to promote tourism to Thuringia, we got very helpful advise when we were searching for qualified carvers for our new line of Springerle molds.
Very close to Suhl and TECCEM we found a company called "Dukasi" in Sondershausen. All of our newly craved molds came so far from them.
As already stated TECCEM's main business is the development, production and sales of high tech lubricants. This has naturally the highest priority. For that reason, we asked Dukasi to become also involved in the production of replicas. We were extremely pleased about the positive response from Dukasi.
Dukasi received all that know how and added valuable ideas how to improve the quality of the molds.
Dukasi is a very trustful partner and all work was always completed in time.
Today it looks like that Dukasi gained already an excellent reputation in the niche market of carving original wooden Springerle molds.
They also began to sell the replicas within the European market.
