History

After the Second World War, Hans Fröscher followed in his father's footsteps at the age of 28 and developed the company into a leading manufacturer of chairs and tables for the conference and office sector. Thomas Fröscher took over the company in the 3rd generation in 1991 and developed the company into a solution provider for conference furniture. Today, the company works with customers to develop the right solution for their communication rooms. Always with a focus on technology integration, which is indispensable in an age of video conferencing and home offices. Always according to the vision "Free space for innovation".
August Fröscher was born in Steinheim an der Murr, the younger of two brothers and the son of a master carpenter. When he was old enough, August asked his father which brother he intended to hand over the company to. He replied: "You can't wait until I'm dead." When he heard this, he knew what to do and in 1921 he set up his own joinery in his home in Steinheim an der Murr, independent of his father's business. The glue was cooked on the kitchen cooker and the flat had to serve as a workshop. August Fröscher achieved his breakthrough with handmade hairdressing and shaving chairs in 19xx. As demand grew, he expanded and started the first production facility for hairdressing and shaving chairs.
After the Second World War, Hans Fröscher followed in his father's footsteps at the age of 28 and developed the company into a leading manufacturer of chairs and tables for the conference and office sector.
The first swivel chairs were developed at the end of the 1960s and the focus on the contract sector began.
The 70s and 80s were characterised by numerous national and international awards and strong growth.

Our vision at fröscher is "freedom for innovation". We want to serve as a source of inspiration for our customers in order to create precisely this freedom. We want Germany to become more innovative as a business location, and we want to support our customers in this endeavour. We are convinced that ideas and knowledge are present in each and every one of us. In every employee, in every manager, in every trainee. However, only a fraction of this knowledge comes to light because we are stuck in our existing communication patterns and routines. So how do we manage to break up our existing patterns and fight against this "encrustation" of the organisation? A lot has to do with the environment. In which environment does an employee feel comfortable and dare or feel like opening up?
