Idea - project - prototype - product

Product development still follows the original path: it’s not enough for an idea to seem good; the prototype must also work well in practice. DB now uses a significant amount of recycled materials in its production. The company currently employs 60 people. And the name change? “Douchebags” once seemed like a funny joke, but the more neutral and stylish acronym “DB” better reflects the essence of the products.
