Schierle STAHLROHRE KG

Schierle Stahlrohre GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1955, Düsseldorf by Eduard Schierle. The company soon made its name both locally and internationally as a reliable and flexible supplier in the trade and processing quality steel and stainless steel precision tubes; specialising in cylinder tubes and piston rods. Erwin, his son, took over the reins in 1989 and has been running the company ever since. Meanwhile the founder's granddaughters, Melanie and Janine - occupying leading positions; have become active in the company and are set to continue the family involvement into the third generation – a fitting succession of what their grandfather started 64 years ago. In addition, and to bolster the family involvement, Erwin´s Son-in-Law, Marc Schürmann joined the team in September 2018 as Managing Director. Although new to steel trading, Marc is a graduated Mechanical Engineer and cut his teeth in the structural steel industry, after which he spent 25 years with a global earth moving equipment manufacturer. On average 100 employees are engaged in both company locations; Neuss and Leipzig, working in a pleasant environment, maximising the benefits of automated high stacking warehouse and a range of CNC machines in their production facilities. In 2011 the company further expanded to include sales and warehousing facilities in the Netherlands where Schierle co-owns the company All Steel Products B.V. (ASP) in Heerenberg. In 2016 it further expanded into South Africa in partnership of the company Ferrotrade International (Pty) Ltd. in Johannesburg. In 2019 a subsidiary with warehouse was founded in the south of Moscow (Russia). (Schierle Russland LLC)
