Attention: Important customer information
Woopy spring recall (AZ-3045100)

30.08.2011

 
 

Dear customer,

You have purchased an AMAZONAS baby spring in the past eight months.
Unfortunately, four cases have recently come to our attention where the Woopy baby spring has broken.
It is unclear whether this is due to a material defect or incorrect use.

We are going to provide Woopy with a safety line in future to prevent the baby falling if the spring breaks from incorrect use.

To be on the safe side, AMAZONAS is recalling the Woopy spring until then.
Please ask your specialist dealer or email us (
uli.saul@amazonas-online.de) to check if your spring is affected. If applicable, your dealer handles the refund.

AMAZONAS would like to express its sincerest apologies.

This does not apply to springs purchased BEFORE November 2010!

Öko-Tex Standard 100 for Amazonas carry slings

22.11.2010
 
 

In the past weeks a selection of Amazonas carry slings have been tested according to the test criteria of the German Öko-Tex Standard 100.
The following carry slings have already passed the test successfully:

Carry Sling (natura, paradiso, tribal sand, girl, boy, berry, laguna, lollipop, carrageen, golf)
Ring Sling (lollipop)
Carry Baby (red, blue)
Jersey Sling (black, olive)
- Mei Tai (earth)

Other carry slings will follow.

More information about the Öko-Text Standard 100


 


 

Centre marking available with all Carry Slings

08.11.2010
 
 

Due to great demand from customers, all our AMAZONAS Carry Slings are now available with a centre marking.

A coloured mark right in the middle now makes our slings easier to tie optimally to fit both the baby and the wearer. That long piece of material dangling down on one side is finally a thing of the past.


 


 

Physical inventory and annual closing 

21.09.2010
 
 

Dear Customers,

Our annual physical inventory will be taking place at the end of the Amazonas business year for 2010.

Current warnings issued by the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)
 

04.08.2010
 
 

The media recently published numerous warnings about the safety of “sling-style infant carriers”. These are heavily padded carriers in which a baby can be carried in a horizontal position from birth with an extremely rounded back.

We – the company AMAZONAS – do not have such products in our range.
The carrying methods that we recommend are those in which the baby sits upright in the carrier and in the correct position for healthy development. The baby’s head and neck are optimally supported and a sufficient and secure oxygen supply is ensured.

Using Our Own Test Equipment Makes Endurance Tests Even Safer

05.11.2007
 
 
For yet more safety, AMAZONAS has installed its own in-house test facility on the Munich-Allach premises.
This testing system, which has been specially developed for endurance tests of hammocks, hanging chairs, and stands, ensures maximum loads of up to 600 kg (tested by means of sand-filled sacks).


 

Eco-Test of AMAZONAS Baby Carrying Slings

01.09.2007
 
 
We also have some happy news regarding baby products: AMAZONAS baby carrying slings have once again passed the annual test for harmful substances. The test was carried out by the independent institute Porst & Partner in Nuremberg, which performs its tests in strict compliance with the Eco Tex Standard 100 test criteria.
Worried parents can thus be relaxed when carrying their little darlings without using their hands.

Baby@AMAZONAS

20.02.2006
 
 
Amazonas GmbH is now rapidly growing also in the baby segment.
Shortly after the release of a separate catalogue for the AMAZONAS baby and toddler range, a product manager has been employed exclusively for this area.
The new domain www.baby-at-amazonas.de has been applied for and will soon be available to you.
In addition, we will include a separate baby page in the Amazonas website. There you will find lots of valuable information about carrying and being carried...


 

Amazonas is moving ...

01.11.2004
 
 
Amazonas is bursting at the seams! On November 1st, the time has come at last: We are moving to our new head office in München-Allach. Its convenient and pleasant room layout holds valuable advantages not only for all our employees, but also for our customers thanks to a quieter work atmosphere and standardised workflows. Our warehouse is moving right along with us—to spacious and ideally organisable premises located nearby.

 

... and growing

31.07.2004
 
 
In the first half of 2004, an increasing demand for hammocks has again enabled us to hire new employees: Since March of this year, Evelyn Losert has been responsible for the Accounting and Human Resources Management areas and Sonja Heilmann has lent a highly motivated helping hand in order processing. With Marcos Schänzle, we have expanded the Purchasing department, in particular for our major production country Brazil.

Finally, Dorothea von Creytz has joined us who is in charge of the reception and switchboard areas and helps out in order processing at busy times. The Storage department meanwhile has a staff of seven, at times even up to ten.


 

Amazonas is growing ...

31.12.2003
 
 
As a result of the merger with ElComal and the widespread customer satisfaction with our Amazonas quality hammocks, Amazonas can take on new employees in 2003: Besides Jasmin Metz, who is meanwhile increasingly in charge of logistics, we are also happy to welcome Isabel te Kloot who is taking charge of order processing with great commitment.

The Sales department has been extended by Jörg Koch and Katharina Heidebrecht who assist our German and international customers and are responsible for identifying and exploiting regional as well as specialised market gaps for the further expansion of our company. Welcome aboard!

 

Wedding with El Comal

01.09.2003
 
 

September 2003 will mark the first inner-German merger of two hammock brands: Well established for over one decade, the El Comal brand name by the company El Comal Import and Marketing, located in Hofheim i. T., is now being taken over by Amazonas GmbH.

Amazonas will continue to remain reserved to the specialist trade with above-average quality, while we are penetrating a completely different market segment with the El Comal brand, offering hammocks at lower price points and predominantly with spreader bars!


  Relaunch of Amazonas online 01.02.2003
 
 
The relaunch of the Internet presence of Amazonas GmbH presents itself with a new design and technology. The new presence is equipped with a CMS (Content Management System) that enables us to publish the latest information via the Internet almost in realtime.

Of course, our retailers and distributors also profit from this change and are now able to access the latest information of Amazonas GmbH and the hammock respectively hanging chair market even faster.
