Krebs has kept the fine art of creating original glass ornaments alive for 70 years in Germany and for 45 years in the USA. A family owned company for four generations, the Krebs family and companies have established themselves as the leader in the glass ornament industry. Known for their unique and original designs, the Krebs companies have set the standards for high quality and service.
Following the end of World War II, teenager Helmut Krebs and his mother Erica were forced out of their lifelong home in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, and relocated to a refugee camp in Muehldorf, Bavaria. While there, Helmut and Erica attended a tradeshow hoping to sell paper houses they had made and decorated with glitter.
They sold none, however the man in the booth next to theirs had seven orders for glass ornaments. Thinking this was not worth his time, he gave the orders to Helmut and Erica who had no experience in glass ornaments. The Krebs then reached out to their fellow refugee tradesman and were able to organize the production and delivery of those seven orders, and the Krebs and Son ornament factory was born.
The family tradition continues to thrive today under the leadership of Eberhard’s sons Walter and Thomas Krebs. They continue to uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and a strong commitment to quality and design. Christmas by Krebs has since expanded into Shatterproof Ornaments, opening a factory in Juarez, Mexico. With the addition of the factory in Mexico, Christmas by Krebs is the largest producer of Seasonal ornaments in North America. The company also operates a sales division in Lauscha, Germany to service the European market and stay connected with their family heritage.
An industry leader in Christmas ornament color trends offering a variety of shapes and fashionable designs, the company utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and highly-skilled personnel to produce some of the highest quality glass and commercial shatterproof ornaments as well as natural stone coasters for any space in the marketplace today.
Krebs ornaments and coasters are not only reserved for Christmas but are perfect décor for any wedding, party, etc. all year round. The company’s customers include retail décor, Christmas stores, wedding planners, interior and commercial decorators, gift stores, large retail chain stores, and many more. If you’re looking for quality wholesale ornaments and trendy home décor you have come to the right place!
