Bembé Parkett over time
Our company history dates back to the 18th century
- 1780
- 1840
Parquet production
In 1840, Bembé opens its own parquet flooring factory in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and hires a French parquet expert to train its craftsmen. The demand for parquet flooring increases, especially after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871.
- 1878
Bad Mergentheim site
In 1878, parquet production starts in Bad Mergentheim with the latest machines.
In Neuschwanstein Castle and Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, in the Imperial German Embassy in Istanbul and in the villas of the Gründerzeit era, people rely on Bembé Parkett. - 1925
Jucker & Co. KG
In 1925, the Erfurt furniture manufacturers Ziegenhorn and Jucker buy the parquet factory in Bad Mergentheim. This means the Jucker family shapes the history of the company, which now operates under the name “Bembé-Parkettfabrik Jucker & Co. KG”.
- 1945
End of World War II
The company survives World War II battered, but with the economic upturn of the 1950s, Bembé quickly develops once again into the leading parquet factory in Germany.
- 2004
Wirthwein takeover
The Creglingen entrepreneurial family Wirthwein takes over Peter Jucker’s shares. This creates the basis for the further development of the traditional company. At the same time, the continuing trend towards natural living and the conscious design of one’s own four walls provides further momentum.
- 2016
Healthy growth
Over 1 million square meters of parquet are installed every year. This makes Bembé Parkett not only a manufacturer, but also Germany’s largest parquet installation company. A total of 45 Bembé studios are now maintained throughout Germany. The workforce grows to around 550 employees.
- 2020
Modernization measures
Bembé Parkett modernizes its entire brand presence – digital and analog. The new website, a revised visual identity and clearer communication strengthen the brand sustainably. At the same time, the coronavirus pandemic shows how valuable a stable structure, well-rehearsed processes and a strong team spirit are – Bembé masters this time with foresight and reliability.
- 2025
245 years of Bembé Parkett
Tradition meets responsibility: For the anniversary, Bembé Parkett is awarded the “Quality Brand 2025” seal – a sign of uncompromising quality and lived sustainability. With targeted measures such as our tree-planting campaign, we are setting a conscious sign for the future.
Your service at Bembé Parkett
From production and installation to parquet care
Whether multi-layer parquet, solid wood parquet or plank flooring, our claim remains the same: to meet your high expectations in terms of aesthetics, quality and cost-effectiveness. To achieve this, we take the utmost care from the selection of the wood to installation. The Bembé seal on your floor is a sign of a consistently high quality standard.
We produce a large part of our parquet ourselves, support you with all our know-how right from the start and install your desired floor exactly as you want it. We are also there for you when it comes to renovation work or caring for your parquet floor. With our complete package, we want to save you time, effort and possible later trouble on your building project. What’s more, we make some “DIY store bargains” look old, where you have to mentally add the price for installation to the total.
