history
The company was founded in 1938 in Weilheim in Upper Bavaria as a one-man business by Hans Lingl senior (* 1910) from Haag / Upper Palatinate. In 1936 he had applied for a patent for a “device for engobing roof tiles”. After the Second World War he started again in Schwarzenfeld in the Upper Palatinate in 1946 . In 1951 he relocated the headquarters to the more centrally located Neu-Ulm . In 1956 Lingl set up the world's first brick factory with continuous flow operation. As a result of its innovations and the booming construction industry, the company grew rapidly and expanded several times. In 1961 a second plant was built in Krumbach (Swabia) . The son Hans Lingl junior (* 1938) joined the company early, went to the USA in 1969 and established a subsidiary in Tennessee in the early 1970s . He moved the headquarters of the entire group of companies to Krumbach. In 1977 he took over the management together with his brother-in-law Klaus Appel. After a renewed upswing (1988: 820 employees), supported by German reunification in 1989, an economic slump came at the end of the 1990s and Lingl had to cut many jobs (2004: around 520 employees). In 2004 the administration was moved from Neu-Ulm to Krumbach. At the end of 2007, Lingl resigned from the employers' association, thereby withdrawing from the regional collective agreement and concluding a company collective agreement at the beginning of 2008. In 2008 the number of employees rose again to 570 (including subsidiaries around 720). A massive drop in incoming orders, due to the decline in demand in the construction industry as a result of the economic crisis, led to the introduction of short-time working in different departments in January 2009 and the company management announced a restructuring plan with major cuts in the spring (including complete waiver of vacation and Christmas bonuses, postponement of the wage increase, Elimination of one-off payments and working time accounts, hiring freeze, reduction of temporary workers, managing directors and executives foregoing remuneration components, less outsourcing of services).
In Krumbach, Hans-Lingl-Straße is named after the company's founder.
