The success story of Scheuch GmbH (Aurolzmünster, Austria) began in 1963 in Ried im Innkreis when Alois Scheuch took over his father’s sheet metal shop with six employees, manufacturing the company’s first ventilation equipment in the very same year. In the following year, the first dedusting system was installed in a joiner’s workshop and in 1966 the company received its first orders from the particleboard industry. The company employed 100 workers in 1980, a number that grew to 200 in 1991, 300 in 1995 and 500 in the year 2001. Today, 640 employees work at Scheuch’s headquarters in Aurolzmünster, with 780 workers employed by Scheuch worldwide.
