Forty years ago, it all started in a small garage where Andre Schmidt’s passion for balloons took flight. What began as a modest hobby quickly blossomed into a thriving business, winning the hearts of party and balloon lovers across Germany.

Even during school years, Andre Schmidt’s son Nick and his daughter-in-law Mandy pitched in to help.
After high school, they fully joined the company, completing their training within the family business.
This close-knit collaboration formed the backbone of the company’s steady growth and success.With the launch of its first B2B online shop, “Luftballon-Markt.de,” and a physical store for party and balloon supplies, the company entered a new chapter.

About a decade later, Andre and Nick introduced an innovative idea: digitally printing photos on foil balloons. Following three years of intense development, Germany’s first digital balloon printing company was born.

This original photo balloon concept evolved into the unique foil balloon brand, “PREMIOLOON.” Rapidly increasing demand drove the company to invest heavily in new machinery.

Today, 35 printing machines are operational, with a cutting-edge model set to debut this year. The product range has expanded to include advertising balloons, photo balloons, and customized requests.A partnership with "Amscan Europe GmbH" enabled further growth. In August 2021, amid global challenges like the Ukraine war, COVID-19 repercussions, and rising inflation, Andre and Nick sold “Luftballon-Markt GmbH” to Amscan Europe GmbH (Wonder Group) to pursue international expansion.

In choosing future collaborators, Andre and Nick met with Italy’s Grassi family (GRABO). A brief conversation quickly confirmed they were the perfect match, leading to the creation of the joint venture “GRABO BALLOONS GERMANY.”

Today, Premioloon Germany GmbH stands proud as a family business (Grassi & Schmidt) dedicated to offering premium balloons, the latest trends, and unparalleled experiences. This story exemplifies entrepreneurship, family unity, and resilience in overcoming challenges.

We eagerly look ahead and invite you to share in our passion for balloons!
