The company was founded in 1830 by A. Louis Seidel as a pewter foundry in Marburg, making it one of the oldest continuously existing companies in the metal casting industry in the region. In 1972 Hermann Ritzenhoff took over the company from the Seidel family.

In 2017 and 2018, the entire Seidel workforce donated over 3,300 collected overtime hours to one of their colleagues, whose son was seriously ill with leukemia, following a call from the management. The action triggered a nationwide media response. As a result, the employees of Seidel GmbH & Co. KG and its sister company Carus GmbH & Co. KG were honored at the end of March 2018 by the Hessian Finance Minister Thomas Schäfer on behalf of the Hessian state government as "People of Respect". The company sees the donation as confirmation of its good corporate culture.
