History

Andreas Gehlen founded Zwei plus zwei Marketing GmbH in 1993 in Cologne, Germany, as a wholesaler importing and distributing bike trailers from a garage after identifying a market gap for child transport solutions. The company expanded to over 40 employees and became a popular brand in Germany before rebranding to Croozer GmbH. In 2011, after Thule acquired Chariot Carriers, Croozer shifted focus to its own brand development, registering patents within four years.¹²
