History
Shaping the future from tradition
The Frühwald Group – more than 90 years of lived history
When Anton Frühwald founded the company in 1930, he could not have imagined that he would bring an internationally active model of success to the world. After all, generations later, his successors still appreciate the family values on which the company’s history and tradition are based. Today, the traditional point of view is optimally combined with the professionalism of an international group – in three countries and supported by the motivation of the great Frühwald employees.
