Looking back and ahead
It all started on 10 October 1923 when Fritz Steinbach set up a business as “wholesaler of chemical and technical products, etc.” in Constance.
The years following were marked by various challenges in efforts to diversify the product line for industrial firms.
In the 1930s, Fritz Steinbach moved to Detmold in the Lippe region of Germany.
After the war, in 1951, his son Heinz and wife Hildegard made a fresh start with sales agencies in timber and building materials and the rubber goods industry.

Soon Volker Steinbach joined the company in 1980; in 1981 the company began trading under the name of Steinbach GmbH.
The Bags and Film Packaging unit was effectively expanded – now with additional support from Volker’s wife Birgit.
