As a small publisher from Upper Austria, one thing is particularly close to our hearts:
Our products should not only bring joy, but also be created with a clear conscience.
Wherever possible, we have our products manufactured in Austria, Germany, or within Europe. This is important to us – even if it's not always the easiest way.
Regional, sustainable, and socially fair
For example, our postcards and small cards are produced in a small print shop near Ried. Short distances, personal collaboration, and high-quality processing are particularly important to us here.
Many of our cushions and natural products are also manufactured in Austria – partly with the valuable support of social workshops such as promete.
People with physical or mental disabilities contribute to the production of our products, with great care, skill – and above all, great joy. This touches us anew every time.
Why we choose this path
Production in Austria or Europe often means:
-
higher costs
-
more coordination
-
longer decision-making processes
And yes – it's not always easy to consistently implement this standard. Especially for a small publisher like us, this is repeatedly a challenge.
But we are convinced:
👉 It's worth it.
Because behind every Oups product are people, values, and the idea that business can also be mindful, fair, and humane.
Our Promise
We will continue to do our best to
-
produce regionally,
-
act sustainably,
-
and take on social responsibility –
even if that sometimes requires more effort.
Thank you for walking this path with us 💛
With every Oups product, you are supporting not just an idea, but also many people who contribute to it with all their hearts.
