Already 103 years? Now that's a decent piece of sheet metal.

Die Markus Späth GmbH geht im hundertsten Jahr nach der Gründung wieder einmal Neues an. Mit Produktion, Handel und Serviceleistungen stehen erneut Unternehmergeist und Innovationskraft an der Schwelle des urgroßväterlichen Blechnerbetriebs von 1920. Es scheint, dass Tatkraft und Erfindergeist erblich sind.

In the hundredth year after its founding, Markus Späth GmbH is once again embarking on something new. With production, trade and services, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative strength are once again on the threshold of the great-grandfatherly sheet metal business of 1920. It seems that drive and inventiveness are hereditary.

Of course, this has tradition.

Entrepreneurial success is not a matter of course. In the long run, it's always about making more right decisions than wrong ones. For us, too, it's no secret: experience, skill and the best craftsmanship - that needs to be combined with a bit of luck. This has now - with all modesty - worked well for 100 years. But our company concept is also to take technology a little more closely than usual. - Is it normal that we like to do that? We can't help it - and it works.
