80 years of Schiedel
From two borrowed shovels to European market leadership
Two borrowed shovels. A borrowed wheelbarrow. And a vision that changed everything in 1946. When Friedrich Schiedel laid the first foundation stone shortly after the Second World War, it was about more than just building - it was about providing warmth, security and infrastructure in turbulent times. From these humble beginnings in Erbach, Germany, a European market leader has emerged. Today, we look back with pride on eight decades in which we have not only kept the flame alive, but redefined it for generations to come. With over 15 state-of-the-art production facilities, we combine yesterday's craftsmanship with tomorrow's digital engineering.
