History

The company was founded in 1993 by Marcus Pürner, who began with an area of 50 m2 in his father's furniture factory in Waldershof, Germany.[1] The company has expanded its production area to 55,000 m2[2] and sells to more than 60 countries all over the world. They currently sponsor Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux.

In May 2021, the company applied for the construction of a 160-meter-long and 50 meter high high-bay warehouse in Waldershof. However, this project is controversial, with some local and regional residents expressing concerns about the appearance of the landscape and environmental protection. On June 10, 2021, Bavarian television broadcast a report about the planned construction in the magazine quer.[3]
