History: over 100 years of SEGLER

SEGLER can look back on a rich corporate history steeped in tradition and innovation. The pioneering spirit of its founder, Friedrich Segler Sr. – he registered more than 50 patents and utility models during his career – continues to this day. This is reflected in the flexible solutions we offer our customers and the implementation of the latest technological trends, as well as in our ambitious efforts to promote young talent and train our employees.

The history of SEGLER goes back to 1911; here you will find the most important milestones up to today.
