Our History

From its beginnings in Bentfeld to the modern production site in Borchen

Starting in Bentfeld on just a few square meters of storage and production space in 1986, Giesguth has continuously developed into a high-performance supplier for the wood and furniture industry. Today, we have state-of-the-art facilities, large storage areas and a Europe-wide network – what has remained is the commitment to quality, precision and reliability.
