Bembé Parkett over time
Our company history dates back to the 18th century
- 1780
Foundation
In 1780, Johann Benedikt Bembé founded a tapestry and decoration business in Mainz.
Later, his son Martin expands the business and enters the furniture production. - 1840
Parquet coloration
In 1840, Bembé opens its own parquet flooring factory in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and hires a French parquet expert to train its craftsmen. The demand for parquet flooring increases, especially after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871.
- 1878
Location Bad Mergentheim
In 1878, parquet production starts in Bad Mergentheim with the latest machines.
In Neuschwanstein Castle and Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, in the Imperial German Embassy in Istanbul and in the villas of the Wilhelminian period, people put their trust in Bembé Parkett. - 1925
Jucker & Co. KG
In 1925, the Erfurt furniture manufacturers Ziegenhorn and Jucker buy the parquet factory in Bad Mergentheim. Thus the Jucker family determines the history of the company, which now trades under the name “Bembé-Parkettfabrik Jucker & Co. KG”.
- 1945
End 2. world war
The company survived the Second World War in a battered condition, but with the economic upswing of the 1950s, Bembé quickly developed again into the leading parquet factory in Germany.
- 2004
Takeover Wirthwein
The Wirthwein family of entrepreneurs from Creglingen takes over Peter Jucker’s shares. This creates the basis for the further development of the traditional company. At the same time, the continuing trend towards natural living and the conscious design of one’s own four walls provides further impetus.
- 2016
Healthy growth
More than 1 million square meters of parquet are laid annually. This makes Bembé Parkett not only a manufacturer, but also Germany’s largest parquet installation company. A total of 45 Bembé studios are now maintained throughout Germany. The workforce grows to approx. 550 employees.
- 2020
240 years of Bembé
Bembé is 240 years old – Bembé Parkett is also renewing its outdated website. With a new design and a new structure, user-friendliness and clarity are to be improved.
Your service at Bembé Parkett
From production and installation to parquet maintenance
Whether multilayer parquet, solid wood parquet or plank flooring, our aim remains the same: to meet your high expectations in terms of aesthetics, quality and cost-effectiveness. To achieve this, we take the utmost care from the selection of the wood to the installation. The Bembé seal on your floor is a sign of consistently high quality standards.
We produce a large proportion of our parquet ourselves, provide you with all our expertise from the outset and install your desired floor as required. We are also there for you when it comes to renovation work or maintenance of your parquet floor. With our complete package, we want to save you time, effort and potential trouble later on in your construction project. What’s more, we make many a “DIY store bargain” look old, where you have to add the price of installation in your head.
