AKO supports yoga initiative for children in Botswana (southern Africa)
As a company with a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility, we are delighted to be able to support a special project by the Knyphausen Foundation in Botswana.
A yoga module was introduced in September 2024 as part of the Junior Ranger programme there, which inspires children and young people to protect nature and the environment. The aim is to strengthen the physical and mental well-being of the participants – through mindfulness, movement and inner peace.
To make this programme possible, A. Kolckmann GmbH donated high-quality yoga mats. This will enable the children in Botswana to gain their first experience of yoga on a non-slip and stable surface.
“We see it as our responsibility not only to supply products, but also to help where our support makes a tangible difference.”
– The AKO teamWe would like to thank the Knyphausen Foundation for its tireless efforts on the ground – and are delighted to be part of this important work.

Growing together – 20 years of partnership with Astra/Golze
On 9 May 2025, we celebrated a special milestone: 20 years of close and successful cooperation between AKO and Astra/Golze. What began in 2005 with a shared vision has developed into a genuine partnership of equals – characterised by trust, reliability and strong cooperation.
Together, we have been selling safety mats and carpet underlays in Germany and Austria for two decades – with great passion and tangible success. Behind this success story are many committed people on both sides who give their best every day, tackle challenges and contribute new ideas.
The anniversary celebration not only provided space to look back and express gratitude, but also for many pleasant conversations, shared laughter and pride in what has been achieved. A strong sign of what is possible when you can rely on each other.
Here's to the next few years together – with heart, commitment and the determination to continue to achieve great things!
