1963
On May 15, Horst and Maria Schneider open their own welding shop in Oberdieten, which initially only carries out contract work for regional companies. They mainly produce grave crosses, holy water stoups and furniture parts.
1967
A new workshop building is erected on the current company premises in order to cope with the increasing number of orders. The first permanent employee is hired in the same year.
1970
The Volkswagen plant is the first customer to order large series of lattice boxes directly from Schneider.
1972
The factory hall is extended for the first time.
1975
Linde AG commissions the development and production of special load carriers for the first time. A neighboring building is purchased specifically for this purpose, where the special load carrier department will be housed in the future.
1977
In future, Deutsche Bahn will have the Eurogitterbox produced throughout Europe and will be temporarily lost as a customer. However, Schneider is now supplying mesh boxes to customers in France, Belgium and even the GDR.
1986
Schneider employs the first Polish contract workers in Oberdieten for the final assembly of the individual components manufactured in Poland.
1989
Horst Schneider founds the company TABOREX in Poznan together with a Polish partner before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
1991
Schneider takes over the toolmaking site of Weimar Werke in order to set up a branch plant for mesh box production in eastern Germany.
1996
The sons of the Schneider family take over the company and divide the individual divisions among themselves. Rolf Schneider takes over agriculture in 1995, Jörg Schneider takes over the Weimar operation and Kai Uwe Schneider manages the pallet cage production from 1996.
1998
After the generation change, Schneider finds its way back on the road to success. A new major customer, Volvo, is acquired and rental box sales begin in the same year.
2001
Opening of a sales office in France
2006
The neighboring site of the decommissioned sawmill is taken over and renovated and converted by 2008. This creates the conditions for further growth.
2008
The financial crisis also affects Schneider transport and storage containers. Within a very short space of time, almost all orders collapse. It is not until the end of 2009 that the order situation recovers noticeably.
2015
The administration is fundamentally modernized with the help of a second managing director, automotive sales is professionalized and modern project management is introduced. Kai Uwe Schneider founds Schneider Pojemniki Transportowe Sp. z o.o. Sp.K. in Poland, which henceforth takes over the entire special load carrier division.
2019
The restructuring measures in the administration have been completed and Schneider has been transformed into
GmbH & Co. KG.
