History

A family company until today

Ever since Carl Stahl was established in 1880, change has been an integral part of our corporate culture. What began as a rope-making facility is today a global enterprise with highly specialised products for the broadest range of sectors and many different shareholdings. Our sustainable success can be attributed to the fact that we have always tailored our actions to the current economic requirements.
