Since more than 25 years, machines and production lines for 2-ply parquet blocks as well as for 3-layer parquet planks are manufactured and offered. The high requirements regarding quality and reliability could be fullfilled by applying numerous prooven principles, combined with innovative solutions.
Today the product range offers a large variety of machines and production lines, many of them are presented on these sites. So far, the company is prepared for the future and parquet machines made by SCHROEDER are standing for quality and reliability as well as for innovation and progress.
In den ersten Monaten lag der Schwerpunkt auf der Instandsetzung von Kleinmaschinen. Bereits kurze Zeit später befassten sich die Firmengründer jedoch mit Parkettmaschinen: Aus den stark beschädigten Resten von drei Maschinen entstanden zwei wieder funktionsfähige Anlagen. Die verbliebenen Teile dienten als Bezahlung und wurden unmittelbar zum Aufbau einer dritten Maschine genutzt.
The unexpectedly rapid sale of this third machine revealed a gap in the market. The decision was made to build more machines of this type and to specialize specifically in parquet machines. From 1948 onwards, the company produced only machines for parquet manufacturing.
As demand grew, so did the production program. In addition to individual machines, complete production lines were increasingly developed and sold. In particular, the strong upswing in mosaic parquet flooring in the 1950s led to the development of specialized machines and later complete systems for this type of parquet flooring.
In the early 1960s, the two sons of the company founders joined the business and gradually took over its management. During this phase, the export share grew to over 50%, with machines being delivered to almost every country in the world. After the company founders retired in the early 1980s, Helmut Schroeder (sales, commercial management) and Peter Schroeder (production) successfully continued to lead the company in the international market.
Since 1996, the company has been run by Dr. Hans-Bernd Schroeder, the third generation of the family. The highest quality and reliability have always been the benchmark. For many years, production focused on machines for classic solid parquet types such as strip, lamella, and mosaic parquet. For more than 25 years, production lines for 2-layer parquet strips and 3-layer planks have also been part of the range. The combination of proven principles and innovative solutions has ensured the high durability of the machines.
Following the complete withdrawal of the second generation at the end of 2019, the company will be managed exclusively by Dr. Hans-Bernd Schroeder. His sons Leon and Lasse are studying mechanical engineering in preparation for a possible succession in the fourth generation. Today, GEBR. SCHROEDER stands not only for quality and reliability, but also for innovative strength and a clearly defined vision for the future.
