The 1st November, 1946 Wilhelm Reibel, father and
grandfather of the present owners, founded in Eberbach, Neckarstraße 18, in a back room a
broom and brush production. With four employers he managed the survival of the company
with the success of being able to move in the year 1950 to the Industriestraße - nowadays
Gütschowstraße - in the north of Eberbach. In these own rooms a spinning mill for
horsehair was installed. In the meantime the staff increased to seven employers. One
decided to stop the production of brooms and brushes and to convert to the production of
foam mats. It was difficult to maintain one's position because at that time there were
only in Germany 33 spinning mills for horsehair, of them 5 competitors in Eberbach. In the
year 1958 son Heinrich Reibel entered the company to support his father. Continuously the
product range of upholstery mats was enlarged with different hair and natural fibres. In
the beginning of the seventieth a cutting division for foam was installed. The 1st
February, 1990 Thomas Reibel who belongs to the third generation as manager entered the
company. In the course of years the program was supplemented with new products like hemp,
jute and sisal. Vulcanized coconut fibres and hair for multilayered mattresses were
included in the program. In the year 2000 the company Reibel has 30 employers in four
groups of buildings. Not only in Germany but also in many countries of the EU it has
become market leader.
