From pioneer to market leader

SCHIEDEL was founded in 1946 by Senator Friedrich Schiedel in Erbach near Ulm, Germany. Since then, the company gradually evolved from pioneer to market leader – a long story which has yielded a wealth of experience that helps us to master all future challenges.

As a subsidiary of the MONIER Group, the worldwide leader in roofing products with internationally renowned brand names such as Braas, Bramac or Redland, Schiedel enjoys solid backing that enables the enterprise to improve its strong position.
Ever since its foundation, state-of-the-art technology and superlative quality have been Schiedel‘s recipe for success. The company management follows a vision that builds on past achievements while pushing the frontiers of chimney innovation. Our international network enables our customers to access cutting-edge technologies at the regional level, always taking account of the climate-related needs, construction and heating traditions of each individual country.
