Friedrich Ischebeck founded the company in 1881, and from then right up to today the company has undergone a momentous development. Adapting to the different circumstances of different countries plus our current focus on our three core business segments of geotechnical, formwork and trench shoring systems mark the point we have reached so far in our long and successful history:
a family business
with global success
FRIEDR. ISCHEBECK GMBH is a family-run business now led by managing directors Björn Ischebeck and Dr. Lars Ischebeck. The creation of secure jobs is what drives us. Our strong ties with the region and the responsibility that goes with that for the people of that region have supplied the basis for successful international expansion.
This gave us the strength to develop our global operations, which have provided us with a wealth of experience and enabled us to invest further in our production plant at Ennepetal close to Germany’s industrial heartland.
the evolution of the company
from its beginnings to the present day

The company expands its range of products to cover buildings and structures. Firstly, telescopic props in steel, in the meantime pioneering propping and floor slab formwork systems in aluminium.

The company realigns its business segments and corporate structure. The result is a focus on geotechnical, formwork and trench shoring systems to ensure a focus on strengthening and developing innovative product areas in the future.
