Vision and solid business EXPERTISE

“Without Carl Spaeter and its corporate vision, we would not be where we are today.” In Koblenz in the year 1875, the company’s founder, Carl Spaeter, laid the foundations for a success story which has since continued to thrive – along with our customers, employees and suppliers. Carl Spaeter’s strong business personality is still evident today in the

Today, we trust the experience that has made us one of the 500 highest-earning German companies. Our customers know that their interests are also our interests. We truly live our partnerships and all that goes with them: trust, respect, reliability. We work together with strong partners, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.

more than 130 years acts as an incentive to us and focuses us on working towards the future. Thus we consciously combine tradition and innovation.



DUAL RESPONSIBILITY

“Our team is our strength.” As a family business, we take our responsibility to our employees seriously. We there­­­­­fore provide comprehensive educational and advanced training opportunities as a matter of course. In addition, we actively pursue an open-door communication policy – because trust and transparency are an important part of teamwork.

MATERIALS WITH ADDED VALUE

“The steel market is growing – and we’re growing with it.” Over 1.1 billion tonnes of steel are produced worldwide each year. German steel producers can produce more than 2,000 different types of steel. Germany ranks sixth in the list of steelproducing countries.

was and will remain our speciality: approximately three quarters of our turnover is from steel and stainless steel. In addition, aluminium is also becoming increasingly important, and of course our portfolio also includes other non-ferrous materials and plastics.



OPTIMAL WAREHOUSE SOLUTIONS

“We know our customer base and what is important to them.” In the last 15 years, SPAETER has made a concerted effort to invest in the expansion of modern warehousing and order-picking technology. We manage our stock locally, which enables us to respond to the demands of our customers promptly and affordably.

Quality on demand

“Business based on security and trust” Whether small lots of up to 50 kilograms or large batches weighing tonnes, in many cases, we deliver the goods straight to our customers using either vehicles from our own fleet or one of our reliable partners.

TAILOR-MADE FOR YOU

“To recognise the markets of the future and act accordingly – that is innovation.” Preproduction is a part of our growth strategy: we are able to process over a quarter of our products to suit the precise requirements of our customers. Our clients receive everything from one source and therefore have time to work on their core competences.

“Complementing one another where possible, and competing where necessary – a healthy mix” 16 branches throughout Germany and various sales offices, some in other European countries: companies within the SPAETER group are consistently available and reliable partners for their customers.
