Porsche Design Pipes
At the end of the 1970's, there were only two briar pipe factories in the Benelux countries: Gubbels in the Netherlands and Hillen in Bree, Belgium. When the latter encountered major financial difficulties in 1980, Gubbels bought the company. Annually 250,000 - 300,000 pipes are made by 60 employees. More than 70% of the production is exported.
