“Just making money isn’t good enough. If the business you are contemplating is not adding to the sustainability of the planet, or taking resources from future generations, just don’t do it. Sit down and take your time to come up with a vision that achieves sustainability in all its forms - monetary, personal, family, community, world health…..then give it 100%!’.

THE SOLIDTEKNICS vision statement

SOLIDTEKNICS is built on the premise that there are enough people like us who are tired of the waste and damage of the disposable consumer world and are willing to think before they buy. To take personal responsibility for their purchasing decisions, and thereby influence corporate and governmental policy by 'voting with their wallet'.

We believe in a more sustainable industry where cookware is not a disposable item and is not coated with questionable synthetics for a little extra consumer convenience.

We only want SOLID and healthy cooking tools that are designed to be the best of their kind in the world and made with such quality and integrity that they will last for multiple generations and centuries.

If you’re going into business, Never forget this:

Your children, family and friends are far more important than business success and money, but if you can cultivate synergy in life and business, you will find the two spheres are not mutually exclusive.

I’ve heard it said like this: live every day like you’re writing your own eulogy so at the end you don’t look back and regret that you wasted any of it. Ever notice that obituaries don’t recall the dearly departed’s excellent spreadsheeting, social media and smartphone skills? It’s always love, humour, family, giving, integrity, character – the only things that matter in the end.

Live every day like that, and you will string together a beautiful life.
