VISIONS AND SOLID COMMERCIAL EXPERTISE „Without Carl Spaeter and his entrepreneurial vision we would not be where we stand today.“ It was in 1875, in the city of Koblenz, when Carl Spaeter laid the foundation for a story of success which continuously has been written ever since - together with our customers, employees and suppliers.

Nowadays we rely on these experiences that have put us in our position among the top 500 enterprises in Germany.

In fact we use to work non-bureaucratically and together with strong partners.

RESPONSIBILITY TIMES TWO

„The team is our strength.“ As a family-owned enterprise we handle the responsibility for our employees with extreme care. We consider comprehensive training and education programmes offered in our companies to be self evident. Furthermore we live a culture of open-door communication; faith and transparency are part of our successful cooperation.

MATERIAL OF ADDED VALUE „The steel market is growing - and so are we.“ More than 1.3 billion tonnes of steel are being produced each year. The ability to manufacture more than 2.000 different kinds has put Germany in 6th place of all steel producing countries worldwide. Steel is an elementary material, which has accompanied and influenced the history of mankind. However, only since the industrial revolution

OPTIMAL STORAGE SOLUTIONS

„We are familiar with our clientele and know what really matters.“ Over the last 15 years, SPAETER has specifically invested in the extension of updated technology for storage and commissioning.
