The consequence: From far away patients come to find help in Traunstein - from the whole Federal Republic, from Italy and the Netherlands, Austria and Spain, Poland and Russia, Romania and Hungary.

For this reason the family run business in the third generation and founded in 1920, opened a subsidiary branch in 1998 in Nuremberg, South-West Park. The step away from the home region represents a remarkable business expansion. This is especially true for the orthopaedic technique, to which are linked around 60% of the trade volume. However, the scope is wider. Pohlig also operates a medical supply centre known for most modern techniques of measurement and an innovative product range in the field of health care as well as a business section for rehabilitation technique, specialised on the technical rehabilitation of most severely handicapped and needing care as well as individual adaptation of seating shell supplies.

The orthopaedic shoe technique is the youngest branch of Pohlig. With the electronic foot pressure measuring, peak loads can precisely be determined. The data are channeled and fed into CAD navigated manufacturing of adapted soles or foot beds for orthopaedic shoes made to measure. With this procedure an optimal fit of shoes and soles is attained.

The steady growth is reflected in the development of the personnel: When Kurt Pohlig, the present owner and grandson of Otto and Helene Pohlig, the founders, took over the company together with his wife from the second generation in 1981, about 25 people were employed. At present 130 people are under contract at Pohlig. Training of the highly specialised professional staff is generally done by the company.
