Company Profile

In 1872, Wilhelm Dichmann founded a water-powered sawmill in Kelkheim/Ts. Initially, the production schedule was subject to constant adaptations to changing market circumstances, but great competence in high quality components and timbers for the household furniture industry soon developed. From early on, a particular speciality of the house of Dichmann was the production of the highest quality veneers in oak, walnut, beech and other woods both at home and abroad. The company developed well, with the involvement of many family members (there are currently 7 Dichmann brothers working in the company), and has continued to produce office furniture at the Kelkheim site since 1908. In the 50s, with the forward-looking development of office and organisation furniture, the company became one of the leading and most innovative in the office furniture sector. VARIO® is and continues to be a producer of high quality office equipment with great benefits for the customer, on the basis of distinctive trade and construction know-how. In the future too, VARIO® will continue to expand its strengths – i.e. innovation and customer service – and support the changing requirements of the modern office environment of its customers with optimum furniture concepts and products Continuity in values and demands, innovation in our drive to always be among the best: these are the pillars of thinking and operating at VARIO®, which are not contradictory, but rather complementary – both today and over 130 years ago!
