Management

Hermann Schnierle

Founder

After his apprenticeship as a saddler, it was clear to Hermann Schnierle early on that he wanted to continue his craft in his own business. In 1966, at the age of 25, he ventured into self-employment. As a master saddler, he always attached great importance to qualified training. Even today, Schnierle still trains apprentices in the saddlery trade, including national, state and guild winners.

Martin Schnierle

CEO

It is not surprising that son Martin also learned the saddlery trade from scratch and has followed in his father’s footsteps as a master saddler. As a child, his father’s saddlery was his playground; today, Martin Schnierle manages the internationally operating industrial company with over 250 employees. Martin Schnierle is a visionary. He gave the company a new direction back in the 90s when he ventured from furniture and bus seat upholstery into independent seat development and production.
