Collection: Austroducks

During a trip with friends in 2005, Rudolf Doppelbauer, current Managing Director of Austroducks, first discovered rubber ducks. In a Beijing mall, he held such a specimen in his hand for a long time, fascinated, but did not buy it. A few weeks later, on the occasion of his 40th birthday, he received this rubber duck as a gift from his traveling companions. A passion for the collection was born ...

In January 2010, a day before the wedding of a couple of friends, the "Duck Dad", as it is now called with love, was lying in the tub and wondered if anyone had ever designed their own rubber duck. During the festivities he told his friends about the idea of ​​portraying Mozart as a rubber duck and was very well received.

As a trained waiter having worked for many years in Leading establishments in Salzburg, you have no idea how to start a business, but you have a large circle of friends and acquaintances who actively support you to this day. Mr. Rudolf's former apprentice Clemens Mayr designed Mozart's first duck and still designs Austroducks rubber ducks today. Iris Schweinöster is responsible for the product photos. But the family also helps a lot, the niece Anna takes care of social networks and the nephew Maximilian checks the feasibility of the ideas.

And this year 2020, the company is celebrating its 10th anniversary. 10 years of rubber ducks linked to Austria, 10 years of durability, 10 years of Austroducks.
