In 1951, Hugo and Gertrud Veyhl and two employees founded today's Veyhl GmbH in a former anti-aircraft hangar in Zwerenberg in the Black Forest. From the very start, the founding couple set themselves the goal of developing something new. The product portfolio in those early days ranged from vehicle frames, bottle holders, bed frames, sound absorbers as well as sewing baskets. Even today, it is this inventive spirit and innovative enthusiasm of the founding years that characterize our corporate culture and daily work at Veyhl.
After the death of founder Hugo Veyhl, his son Wolf Veyhl took over the management of the company in 1963 and had a decisive influence on its further development. With him begun the office and furniture industry era as well as a successive internationalization of business relations. The basis for this was also the company's own innovation center, in which Veyhl sustainably anchored its development expertise in 1980. The use of gas spring technology as a height adjustment technique in 1990 set the course for a product diversification in the field of ergonomic sit/stand solutions that continues to this day.
