Weizenkorn

The Weizenkorn is a social enterprise in which mainly young women and men with support needs work. In a meaningful activity, they experience acceptance and appreciation. More than 300 people are employed at an accompanied workplace or complete an apprenticeship. In the work areas wood workshop, candle studio, sales, accounting, gastronomy and hotel business, the employees are accompanied by the internal social service and 80 team members. The aim of the support work is to strengthen existing skills and improve employability in the free economy. The Weizenkorn has been in existence since 1979 and is recognized by the federal and cantonal authorities as a sheltered workshop and as a provider of vocational assessments.

Our wooden toys are characterized by child-friendly design, bright colors and high material quality. Thanks to original ideas and their consistent further development, a diverse range of products has been created over the years. From the raw board to the final product, the toys are manufactured throughout in our protected workshops in Basel.
