The founders of Torquato AG are Axel and Max Stürken. As proprietors of Leuchtturm Albenverlag we are responsible together with our father and senior partner Kurt Stürken for the fortunes of the parent company. After an intensive period of preparation we have implemented our idea of founding a mail-order company the way we imagine it, of a kind we haven't yet found.
Our motive is to source and sell things which are simply good and beautiful. For our customers purchasing should be quick and convenient. In this way we want to enthuse a particular group of people using an exceptional product range and perfect service. With a team of motivated colleagues who identify with our concept and philosophy we intend to achieve our vision.
