history

Edmund Meiser founded the company as a steel and iron trade at its current location in 1956 and started the production of reinforcing steel with one employee.
In 1960 the company had 10 employees and started producing grating. The first hot-dip galvanizing plant was put into operation in 1969 and in 1982/1983 the slitting operation began and the cold rolling mill was put into operation. In 1990 the company started manufacturing stairs and one year later the Meiser location in Oelsnitz near Plauen in Vogtland was opened.

With the takeover of Fameco in Belgium (Meiser Fameco) and the establishment of a grating factory in Hungary (Meiser Ferroste), the company became international in 1991. In the years that followed, additional locations were established around the world

In 2000 the company started producing grating in Egypt. One year later, Meiser Ferroste Kft. Founded the Meiser România sales office in Oradea. In 2009, Meiser and the Moroccan trading company EGL founded a joint venture in Casablanca to cut gratings. In 2012, Meiser started with its own fleet of vehicles in Schmelz-Limbach. Meiser Norway AB became a wholly owned subsidiary of Meiser in 2015.

The two German locations have also been expanded considerably in recent years. In 2003, Meiser expanded the product range with the start of production for sheet metal profiles at the Oelsnitz / Vogtl location. and in 2011 a galvanizing plant with an integrated logistics center was opened in Schmelz-Limbach.

In 2019, Meiser expanded its business areas to include road equipment. The Meiser Straßeneinrichtungen GmbH is dedicated to the development, production, assembly and worldwide sales of restraint systems. The assembly of protective devices, fall protection, railings and noise barriers complete the scope of duties.

criticism

For the expansion of the main plant in Schmelz-Limbach , Saarland paid a total of around ten million euros in indirect subsidies in 2010 and 2011, including for the relocation of a country road, which was heavily criticized by the Saarland's audit office . For its part, Meiser has invested around 40 million euros and has created new jobs through the expansion, although for the most part not workers from the region, but unskilled workers from Eastern Europe who receive lower wages than the metal collective agreement provides.

In a statement, the management rejected the criticism and explained that the Polish workers “had been hired because they could not find enough employees from the region.” In the context of EU freedom of movement, the employment of EU Europeans was “a normal process ". CDU members of the state parliament also defended the company.
