About HESBA
HESBA Kinderwagenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG manufactures premium combination prams by hand. Since its founding in 1925, production has taken place exclusively in its own manufactory in Marktgraitz, Upper Franconia. The product range includes the models Condor Coupé, Corrado, Calido, ClassicA, ClassicKorb and Black Edition as well as a chassis with swivelling front wheels. The chassis are made of chrome-plated steel tubing and are machine-riveted; basket inserts, fabric and leather work, cutting, sewing and assembly are all carried out in the company's own production. Woven baskets are offered for the ClassicKorb model. The prams are individually configured only after receipt of an order; production time is approximately four weeks. Sales are handled exclusively through specialist retailers; a repair and spare-parts service covers prams from the last 20 years. The company is a third-generation family business with 15 employees.
