eibe – Tradition and Owner Management

Tilo Eichinger is the company owner since 2005 and thus the change of generations has been successfully completed. Today, eibe is established as one of the leading manufacturers of complete kindergarten furnishings and equipment, school equipment and playground equipment. Roughly 250 employees take care of the development, production and sales of eibe’s high-quality products.

Tilo Eichinger, who is active as chairman of the BSFH (German Federal Association of the Manufacturers of Play Equipment and Recreational Centres, e.V.), has twice received awards. The “Entrepreneur of the Year 2009” as well as the “Grand Prize of the Medium-sized Businesses – Finalist 2009” have been awarded to him.

Tilo Eichinger continues the tradition that the company is passed from generation to generation and thus has been owner managed since 1438.

eibe was first mentioned In the church records of the town of Röttingen in 1438. The Hartmut Eichinger Company stems from this traditional carpentry business. In 1975, the name was changed to eibe.

Since 1971, eibe products have time and again received nationally and internationally recognised prizes such as the Worlddidac, the “if – Die gute Industrieform” award, as well as the German Federal award “Gute Form”. The start for this series of awards was formed in its time by the eibe gym equipment system through the successful combination of function and design, as well as the fact that all elements of the equipment can be combined with each other.
