Entrepreneurship

Beginnings

In 1946, Reinhard Waibel began his entrepreneurial biography with the Liesel motor freight ship , which had a loading capacity of 270 tons, in Neckarsteinach. In 1950, the motor freight ship Michael Waibel followed , which Reinhard Waibel had built together with his wife Hannelore and his father Michael. The MS Michael Waibel drove in a specialty business in Neckarsteinach, which Reinhard Waibel ran together with his father Michael Waibel. The focus of this entrepreneurial activity was the transport of bulk and piece goods on the Rhine.

In 1954 the new ship MS Doris Waibel followed , which was supplemented in 1955 by the new construction of the motor ship MS Gisela Waibel . Reinhard Waibel put the commercial administration of his company in the hands of his wife Hannelore.

Shipping company

With the addition of these new freight ships, the particular company developed into a shipping company that initially continued to have its headquarters in the shipping town of Neckarsteinach and is considered the predecessor of Waibel KG. Only in 1957 was the company relocated to Gernsheim, as Reinhard Waibel had taken over the handling of the Rhine there. In 1959 Reinhard Waibel also started the gravel operation in Biebesheim . The production, transport and sale of gravel were now in his hands.

Reinhard Waibel then acquired a stake in the precast concrete plant in Griesheim and in later years shares in the Gernsheimer Rheinhafen , which the State of Hesse has sole access to the seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam by water, were added.
