history
The origins of the Köbig company are in Bad Kreuznach in 1852 . At this point in time, Nikolaus Schröder founded a workshop for working marble . His wife came from the Koebig family. Her nephew Johann Nikolaus Köbig took over the company after 8 years in 1860. Because the business flourished, trading in building materials was also started. A spatial expansion became necessary. On April 1, 1890, the company bought the Heidelberg oven factory in Mainz. In the same year the company name was changed to Ofenfabrik JN Köbig GmbH .
After Wilhelm Köbig and his co-partner Heinrich Köhler in the 1920s and 1930s, Köbig's son-in-law Heinz Thurn and Köhler's successor Rudolf Schmitt followed. It was the time after the complete destruction of Mainz in February 1945 , when 90% of the Köbig stockpiles were victims of the fire caused by the hail of bombs. In 1952 a new building took place on Rheinallee in Mainz-Mombach .
Heinz Thurn's daughter Helga (from 1945) and son Hans-Jürgen (from 1957; together with Rolf Ollig) was followed by the fourth generation of the family. Hans-Jürgen Thurn's sons Stefan and Markus Thurn took over the management of the company in 1996 as the fifth generation. Stefan Thurn has also been President of the Federal Association of German Building Material Dealers since 2009 .
In 1969 the first bathroom and tile exhibition in the Rhine-Main area was inaugurated . In 1997 (company Motzbäuchel, Bürstadt) and 2013 (company Ries, Darmstadt) expansion took place through company takeovers. At the turn of the millennium, the tile and sanitary exhibition opened in the "House of Tiles" in Hanauer Landstrasse in Frankfurt. In 2003 (opening of the tile logistics center ), 2010 (opening of the Köbig BauPark with 4,000 m² of exhibition space) and 2016 (building services central warehouse in Mainz-Hechtsheim with 25,500 m² of floor space), extensive investments were made at the headquarters in Mainz. The first Köbig Energy Center was opened in Bad Kreuznach in 2011. In 2015, the 125th anniversary of JN Köbig GmbH was celebrated.
structure
The company employed around 650 people on average in 2016. The apprenticeship quota was 13% in 2016. This corresponds to almost 90 trainees in the training professions in wholesale and foreign trade , specialist in warehouse logistics and professional drivers .
In addition to the headquarters in Mainz, JN Köbig has a further 12 branches in Alzey , Bad Kreuznach , Brauna , Bürstadt , Darmstadt , Eisenberg , Frankfurt am Main (2), Koblenz , Mannheim , Nackenheim and Wiesbaden . The wholly owned subsidiary Köbau specializes in laying tiles for large national and international projects.
JN Köbig focuses on the regional market - above all Mainz, where the company headquarters has grown from 8,000 to 45,000 square meters since the 1990s.
In the past few years around € 30 million has been invested in the headquarters in Mainz. In October 2003 a logistics center for tiles and an administration wing for € 7 million were inaugurated. In 2009 a building for the building services division was constructed for € 7 million.
In June 2010, five million euros were invested in the construction of the KöbigBauPark . The exhibition center with an exhibition area of 4,000 square meters includes a house-in-house concept . This building within the building is primarily intended to illustrate technical and structural solutions and installation examples.
A new central warehouse for the building services sector cost a further eleven million euros. Since June 2016, 15,000 (total capacity 30,000) items from the sanitary, heating and installation product range have been stocked there in 10,000 pallet spaces and 15,500 small parts boxes.
