1876 – A Star is Born Six employees selling tools, stoves, fittings – even dog muzzles. The small hardware store in Bielefeld, Germany, that Carl Benteler took over in 1876 was a local trading company. Nobody could have imagined that it would one day become a global industrial player. But the foundations were already there from day one: curiosity, ambition and the pioneering spirit to build something bigger. 150 years on, those qualities still shape BENTELER today.
