Ekkehart H. Schieffer and Wilfried Schieffer-Adick
Anniversary thoughts
This year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our family-owned company - a good opportunity to pause for a moment, even at a special time, and delve into the history. What moved the founder Anton Schieffer, how did the original technical trader become the modern and internationally oriented industrial company and what will the company need in terms of "equipment" in order to be able to survive the next decades true to the slogan "shaping the future with system"? Who were and are the people behind the success of the medium-sized company, what "imprint" did they pass on to their descendants and what will be needed today and in the future to perpetuate the success?
Accompany us on a foray through our history, with its stories and anecdotes, about the factories and the family, about the machines and the people, about the traditions and innovations. A technical distributor that in the beginning concentrated on the materials rubber and plastic, that early recognized the need to build up also a manufacturing and thus could lay the foundation for the future success.
Our thanks go to the loyalty, the commitment of our employees and their families, today as in the past, the trust and the mostly fair partnership of our customers and suppliers, without which it would have been inconceivable to make possible the development and transformation into today's Schieffer Group of Companies.
