About us · Since 1897
What started as a tinsmith’s workshop in Nusplingen became a family business that manufactures worldwide today, and with Kessler PRO, directly for you.
Manifesto
We didn’t invent sewing, but we made it ergonomic. Today we use the same engineering logic to build workstations that work every single day, from workshop furniture to home office worktops.
History
1897
Foundation
Wilhelm Kessler opens a tinsmith’s workshop in Nusplingen. The origin of four generations of metalcraft.
1958
World first
The world’s first height-adjustable sheet-metal profile frame. The birth of ergonomics in the sewing industry.
1986
CNC era

Kessler Polska
Opening of the workshop in Przeworno near Wrocław. Today the home base for Kessler PRO.
2000s
Scaling up
State-of-the-art CNC technology and a new facility in Poland continuously expand worktop production.
Today
Kessler PRO
Direct from the manufacturer. Three locations (DE, PL, USA), ~50% exports, 4th generation at the helm.
Workshop
Our workshop in Przeworno, 30 minutes from Wrocław, has been manufacturing since 1996 with the same engineering logic my great-grandfather established in 1897 in Nusplingen. Today: modern CNC machining centres, in-house tooling design, every piece passes multiple quality checks.
What major furniture brands piece together from three countries, we deliver from a single source. That’s the difference.
Family
Wilhelm, Hans-Jörg, Siegfried, and today the fourth generation. What began as a tinsmith’s workshop in 1897 is now a company across three continents with a clear mission: making work significantly easier.
“What has carried us through 128 years is not the technology. It’s the commitment that every piece we deliver must work every single day.”
Materials
Chipboard, plywood, solid wood: every worktop is cut, milled, edge-banded and packed in our facility in Poland. No third parties, no middlemen.
This gives us control over every detail, and gives you the certainty that the piece at home matches exactly what you ordered.
Values
No middlemen. You order where it’s made, and save in the process.
Our own production, our own tooling design. Every tolerance under our control.
Only materials we’d have at home ourselves. No pretence, no shortcuts.
Special requests aren’t special cases. They’ve been part of our DNA since 1897.
