Anton Schneider began producing cuckoo clocks in 1848 in his farmhouse in Schonach, Germany. The Schneider family business is now in the 6th generation and has been producing high value cuckoo clocks at its current location since 1952.
In the years between 1952 and 1985 the modern factory building was extended in seven periods of building. The clock factory is today among the most modern and largest cuckoo clock factory in the Black Forest. In spite of this, the old tradition of doing valuable carving work by hand has been maintained and in the last few years, even greatly improved. This required intensive training of young wood-carvers under close supervision.
A love of detail combined with ancient handicraft skills are today the characteristics of the new generation of high-value cuckoo clocks. Thanks to their highly skilled workers in the carpentry shop, the wood-carving shop and the clock assembly shops, as well as an extremely exact final inspection, it is possible for Anton Schneider to offer customers worldwide a truly full guarantee.
Anton Schneider employees are highly qualified workers, most of whom have worked for the company for the last 20 to 40 years. Every worker is specialized in the quality production of cuckoo clocks with music and dancing figurines as well as those with moving scenes and hand-carved figurines.
