Biebergemünd, GERMANY (RFD-TV) — Farmers rely on dependable tools every day—whether it is equipment, emerging technology, or even the clothes they wear. STRAUSS, a family-owned company, has built its reputation on engineering high-performance workwear designed for daily farm tasks.

Henning Strauss, CEO of STRAUSS, joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share more about the company’s mission and connection to agriculture.

In his conversation with RFD-TV News, Strauss introduced the company to viewers who may be hearing about it for the first time and explained how it has become a symbol for the farming community in Europe.
