The company includes the brands Martin Stoll , Drabert, progress , MBT (Märkische Möbelwerke Trebbin) and Schärf. Furthermore, the seating furniture from the manufacturer Sitag is traded through Samas. Western and Eastern Europe are the most important markets for the office furniture manufacturer, which generates a large part of its total sales there.

history
After the Second World War, the family company Heinrich Schärf & Sohn started again as a carpenter's business in 1949. In 1989 the Schärf OHG was converted to Schaerf AG. In 1991 the Märkische Möbelwerke Trebbin were taken over. The Dutch Samas Group took over Schärf AG with its 51 European companies in 1994. Drabert was taken over in 1990 and Martin Stoll in 1999. In 2001 the company was transformed into Samas Deutschland AG und Co. KG. Berlin-based Christ Capital AG took over the German division of the Dutch office furniture manufacturer Samas in 2009 and continued it under the name Samas GmbH & Co.KG with the brands Drabert, Progress, MBT, Martin Stoll and Schärf. At the beginning of 2010 the company was taken over by the Swedish Kinnarps AB. The Trebbin location was closed.
