How we work
Our Journey from 1946 to Today
At Beckmann, we’re all about creating the perfect backpack. Since 1946, we've been crafting schoolbags that are not only ergonomically designed but also adored by children and adults alike. Based in Kristiansand, Norway (in beautiful Scandinavia for those who need a map!), we combine tradition with innovation to bring you the best backpacks on the market.
Inspired by You
We start by listening to our customers. Your daily life and feedback inspires our designs, ensuring that every backpack meets the needs and desires of modern students and professionals.
Whether it's for a child's first day of school or an adult's daily commute, we’re all ears!
Design with a Difference
Our talented design team, based right here in Kristiansand, blends creativity with practicality. They sketch, draw, and dream up backpacks that are both stylish and functional.
Some of our most charming designs are created using watercolor techniques by one of our in-house designers. From vibrant colors for kids to sleek, Scandinavian styles for adults, we’ve got it all.
Ergonomics and Quality at the Core
Comfort and quality are key. Our ergonomic designs ensure that our backpacks support healthy posture and reduce the risk of back pain. Features like adjustable straps, padded back panels, and a supportive hip belt help distribute weight evenly, making them comfortable to carry.
Our innovative air flow system, integrated into the padded cushion, moves with the user and ensures the best weight distribution possible, enhancing comfort and support. Plus, our backpacks are built to last, often being passed down from older to younger siblings.
Sustainable and Ethical Production
We care deeply about the environment and the people who make our products. Our backpacks are made from recycled materials, significantly reducing our environmental footprint.
We are proud members of the Fair Wear Foundation, ensuring that our factory workers receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. We conduct regular audits and collaborate closely with our factories to improve conditions continually.
ErgoMagic
Beckmann backpacks are designed to be magical for kids, offering vibrant, fun designs that they love, while also being ergonomic to ensure their health and comfort. Therefore we like to call our school backpacks ErgoMagic✨
The backpacks provide the perfect balance of fun and functionality, ensuring that your child can carry their school essentials comfortably and safely. We truly love to see the kids with stars in their eyes when choosing one of our backpacks, knowing that we helped create that feeling.
