Company
History
The Venjakob Company was founded in 1935 in Gütersloh-Avenwedde
by the qualified master carpenter Alfons Venjakob.
During and after the war the company was managed
by his wife Josefine. She was supported by her
brother Werner Vollmer as Managing Director of
the up and coming business.
Tables were mainly manufactured in the following
35 years. By constantly researching the market,
the assortment was enhanced by including dining
table groups, that is, chairs and dining tables.
In 1958 the son of the company founder, Siegfried
Venjakob, entered the company and took over company
management in 1965. Because of continual growth
it became necessary to make some building extensions,
for example the building of a new administration
centre in 1979 and an extension to the production
and store floors in 1986.

The range of products of the company has been continually enhanced,
so that the range of production included box units for dining rooms
as from 1991. With this addition to its collection, the market shares
of the Venjakob Company were improved considerably. Another extension
to the company became necessary and this was realised with the building
of further production and store floors, leading to a total area of
28,000 sq.m.
At present around 180 employees work for the Venjakob
Company and chairs/armchairs, dining tables, dining room furniture
and coffee tables are manufactured.
