Kiefer, based in Stockach/DE near Lake Constance, is a traditionally grown medium-sized company. Established in 1895 as a carpentry business, it has been owned by the Kiefer family for around 100 years. In addition to its own timber construction projects, Kiefer’s main business activity is contract manufacturing. Thirty-five years ago, the company invested in its first computer-controlled joinery machine – a P8 from Hundegger. Since then, Kiefer has consistently worked with state-of-the-art machinery and has remained faithful in the choice of equipment supplier, swearing by the Hawangen-based machine manufacturer.
