Interstuhl Büromöbel

Interstuhl Büromöbel is a German office-seating company and brand based in Tieringen, a district of Meßstetten in the Zollernalbkreis. The business traces its manufacturing roots to 1960, when Wilhelm Link and his son Werner began making sewing-machine bases at the family’s forge. They added chairs in response to the need for seating among people working at sewing machines. The Interstuhl brand name was introduced in 1967, and the company subsequently developed office swivel chairs. The company describes itself as a family business from the Swabian Alb that has developed and built chairs for working environments for more than six decades. Its products are distributed worldwide through branches and specialist retail partners. The German-language website presents a portfolio extending beyond office chairs, with examples including lounge seating, stools, sofas, and chair families. Current featured products include the HEJ office chair, XXL office chair, CHECK lounge chair, ECO UP stool, QOMFORT sofa, and SHUFFLE chair family. Interstuhl is described as an independent, owner-managed family business led in its third generation by Helmut and Joachim Link. The company markets products under the Interstuhl, Bimos, and Backforce brand names. Its production and company site are in Tieringen. Interstuhl’s website highlights workplace themes such as active sitting, changing work environments, and sustainability, while its country navigation shows a presence serving markets across Europe, North America, and China.

Interstuhl’s roots lie in the Link family’s smithing tradition, which the company history in the supplied German-language source traces to 1731. In 1930, Wilhelm Link took over the village forge in Tieringen, despite the uncertain economic climate. The forge initially did well, but after the Second World War demand for horseshoeing declined. In response, Wilhelm Link and his son Werner Link began producing bases for sewing machines in 1960. Since sewing-machine operators needed seating, the business added chairs to its range. This shift from forge work to seating production established the foundation of the company’s later specialization. The Interstuhl brand was introduced in 1967. In 1969, a major factory expansion brought the company to its present site on Brühlstraße, where it established its first powder-coating plant. The company began developing office swivel chairs, building on its chair-making business and focusing on seating for work environments. Interstuhl remains based in Meßstetten-Tieringen in the Swabian region of Baden-Württemberg. The company is described as an independent, owner-managed family business, now led in its third generation by Helmut and Joachim Link. Its sales network includes company branches and specialist retail partners, and the company says its chairs are supplied worldwide. The corporate portfolio includes the Interstuhl name as well as the Bimos and Backforce brands. The company’s current public-facing presentation continues to emphasize workplace seating and changing work settings. Its website promotes themes such as active sitting and new work environments, and features office chairs alongside lounge chairs, stools, sofas, and chair families. The supplied company profile reports that Interstuhl invested in its Tieringen location in recent years and identifies it as one of the largest employers in the Zollernalbkreis. These details situate the business as both an international seating supplier and a longstanding local manufacturer.
