Not about “cardboard” - about value appreciation and true “trailer loyalty”

“We heard about your new trailer STEMA RETRO, and we thought we’d come visit you,” said Lemnitzer. All of a sudden, Trabi anecdotes and memories are tossed about, and one or anther loving employee smile hangs on the colorful vehicle mix out on the STEMA courtyard. At the mercy of the total price decline after reunification, the remaining trailers have become a rarity and are now constantly increasing in value. Circa 30,000 models are still licensed, and can fetch a price of up to 10,000 Euros.

The 40 fans learn about the new developments and products at STEMA during a company tour. Although mightily impressed by the STEMA construction vehicle transporters and the 6-meter trailers, the fans still ask about replacement parts for their 30-year old trailers. Of course we feel totally honoured by this true “trailer loyalty” and help with tips and advice.

Last but not least, there is the new “STEMA RETRO”. So that this one can be pulled by a Trabi, the braked version will have to follow soon. Chief design engineer Matthias Kieslich looks forward to this prospect.
