Franz Schürholz GmbH is an owner-managed family business in the third generation. In 1946 Franz Schürholz founded the company in Menden. Initially, household goods, kitchen appliances and agricultural supplies were produced. In the following decades, the company developed into an innovative partner in the cold rolled profiles and stamping products divisions.

Today, our products are as diverse as our customers. Industries from A to Z rely on the quality of Schürholz: automotive, construction industry, fitting technology, electrical and filter technology, crane construction, shopfitting, lighting industry, mechanical engineering, furniture and office furniture industry, connection technology and other future industries.

Continuous growth required the continuous expansion of production areas and the relocation from Menden to Wickede - the current location of the company. Here, 30 qualified employees using high-quality materials and the use of modern machinery guarantee the recognized quality of our products.

In 1934, master locksmith Friedrich Elbracht founded the company in the former establishment Lützowstr. 4 in Gütersloh and began under the company name "FEFA Friedrich Elbracht" with the production of bicycle saddles, fireplace doors and grates.

Since 1954, contacts were made also to local domestic appliance industry, for which the company has been increasingly active in the following decades as a supplier then.

The production of our own products has now been set up in the production of clamps for exhaust pipes. Today we see the focus of our activities in our capacity as a supplier to the industry and deliver to customers in the areas of home appliances, construction, furniture and automotive industry. Our range comprises mainly the three areas stampings, weldments and assemblies manufacturing.

In order to meet the increasing demands of our customers in the future, the company moved from its original location to its current newly built establishment in the year 2000th In the years 2011 and 2013, additional business expansions took place, so that currently are 4,300 sqm production and warehouse space on an area of 11,500 square meters. are 45 employees.
