The
company was founded as a joinery and cabinet-making company in the year 1936 by
the master joiner Xaver Dreer. At
this time, the production consisted of the manufacturing of furniture and building
materials, i.e. windows, doors and stairways. The first foundations for series
production were laid by the manufacturing of gramophone and coffee grinder housings
in larger numbers. From
1957, the supply to a renowned phono furniture manufacturer with housing elements
and front frames led to the further development of this production mode and was
decisive in the future development of the company. In 1964 the company was
taken over by his son Franz Dreer, also a master joiner, who continued the expansion
of the company. The
arrival of plastic housings in the phono industry, however, let to the sudden
loss of this clientele in 1968, which could fortunately be successfully compensated
by starting to supply a caravan manufacturer at the same time.
From then
on, interior furnishings for vehicles of the camping car sector could be produced
on a large scale, leading to the eventual restructuring to a company with only
series production.
In the course of the years, the volume of the camping car sector continued to
increase and in 1984 the product line could be extended by ready-made and prefabricated
furniture for suppliers to laboratories and doctors' consulting rooms.
During this period, a representative of the company continued to directly sell
shoe cabinets and cloakroom furniture on a small scale. This distribution channel,
however, lost its importance and finally was discontinued.
Finally the dimensions of the plant that had been built at the end of the thirties
were no longer sufficient for the capacities that had increased in the meantime.
Moreover,
it did not comply any longer with the requirements of efficient production and
in 1984 a new building was set up and the company moved to the newly equipped,
technologically advanced manufacturing plant which in addition has better transport
links.
Following his apprenticeship as a joiner and his university studies in Wood
Technology, and his second degree in Business Administration, Bernd Dreer entered
the management in 1998 and now is ensuring the continuation of the company in
the third generation. In
order to comply with the market requirements, the production of mouldings was
taken up in the year 2000.
As a consequence, the product portfolio of the
company dreer CNC-Holzbearbeitung extends from flat / bent ready-made parts over
prefabricated structural components to flat / bent semi-finished products.
On
account of its consistent policy of new investments and re-investments, the company
dreer CNC-Holzbearbeitung has up-to-date and modern machinery and a modern internal
infrastructure.
It is supported by a well-trained, committed, quality-conscious
workforce.
This combination enables us to ensure an efficient, customer and
quality-oriented production, which is shown again and again by the
excellent evaluations in supplier rankings.
