Randers, Dørgrebs & Metalvarefabrik / Randers, 1878 It all started with a lever handle… For more than 140 years Randi has been synonymous with quality products made from stainless steel and brass. The history of the company dates all back to 1878 when the first lever handle was moulded at ‘Randers Doergrebs & Metalvarefabrik’. Despite its limited size, Denmark is huge when it comes to the significant tradition for design and already in1948, Randi initiated the collaboration with ar- chitects and designers. This year exactly, an architect firm placed an order for a lever handle in stainless steel which kicked off the production of a variety of unique fitting series from Randi, i.e. Randi®-line DESIGN, Classic-Line® and Novo-Line®. The story about Coupé Originally, Randi’s iconic lever handle, Coupé, was pro- duced for a local train factory in Randers. The lever handle was used on the outside of the compartments – and the curved shape was thought to prevent the passengers’ sleeves from getting stuck while passing through the narrow passages of the train. A part of ECO Schulte In April 2014, Randi was included in ECO Schulte GmbH & Co. KG, a German market leader and manufacturer of trim and lock products. Randi and ECO Schulte have a common pride in high quality and thorough design - the foundation of all solutions and products. Dørgrebet Coupé blev lavet til tog kupéer.
