Adler Tippa typewriter

The Adler Tippa is a classic portable manual typewriter, highly regarded for its sleek, low-profile design and durable engineering. Originally released in the 1950s by the German company Adlerwerke (formerly Heinrich Kleyer AG), the Tippa became one of the most popular portable typing machines in Europe, favored by journalists and writers for its lightweight construction.

Over several decades, the manufacturing and brand ownership evolved as the typewriter industry consolidated. Adler eventually merged with Triumph to form Triumph-Adler. In later years, the brand was acquired by various conglomerates, including Litton Industries and Volkswagen, before the typewriter division eventually ceased production as digital technology took over. Today, the Adler name in the context of office equipment is largely associated with its legacy era under Triumph-Adler, which remains headquartered in Germany.
