Stolberg, Zeitz, November 2006. High growth potential and professionalism ultimately made the most of it. The Zeitzer fiberglass manufacturer Fiberpipe GmbH prevailed against more than 200 applications nationwide and won valuable CAD software.

“Flexible assembly, low weight and an almost unspectacular ease of use make our fiberglass tubes interesting for investors,” says entrepreneur Alexander Bamberger, explaining the specialty of his products. Large companies like Esso or Kali und Salz have long appreciated the price advantages associated with practicality: large international orders are the rule. Fiberpipe customers appreciate the precise German engineering and the reliable project management “Made in Germany”. In the last 12 months alone, sales grew by 40 percent, and eight employees were hired within three years. German companies that are also active abroad are often supplied. The large warehouse and production hall is located at the company’s headquarters in Zeitz, while the sales office is in Stolberg.
