Unique in the industry

From a Hamburg-based assembly company to an internationally connected HR services provider and specialist in profile and punching technology.

Hamburg, 1965

Where our story began

Since the mid-1970s, our company has been based in central Germany, but our origins lie on the banks of the Elbe. The company started out in 1965 as a small assembly service provider in the construction sector, specialising in air conditioning and ventilation technology.

The drive to fulfil customer requests and provide solutions is in our DNA: KÖNIG customers increasingly asked whether we could also supply the ventilation ducts… and we delivered! From 1969 onwards, we offered these products. This laid the foundation for what is now KÖNIG Profilsysteme, the Profile Systems division.

In connection with the construction projects for the 1972 Olympic Games, several larger contracts could be secured. This led to the establishment of the first branch of our HR services in Munich in 1969. This marked a pivotal moment, because Austria was just a short step away. Shortly afterwards, the subsidiary Rex was established in Vienna, which was rebranded as KÖNIG Fachpersonal in 2025 – one brand, one corporate family!

KÖNIG Fachpersonal:

Steady growth...

  • Today, KÖNIG Fachpersonal boasts an international network and is widely established.
  • We support our customers both on construction sites and in production and logistics.
  • KÖNIG is present at four locations in Austria and more than 20 locations in Germany, serving both customers and employees.
Expansion in 1969:

First branch in Munich and expansion into Austria

As part of the construction projects for the 1972 Olympic Games, KÖNIG was able to secure several major contracts. To be closer to both clients and employees, the company opened its first HR services branch in Munich in 1969.

This marked a pivotal moment, because Austria was just a short step away. Soon after, the subsidiary in Vienna was founded. Today, in addition to Vienna, we are also active in Linz, Salzburg, and Graz.

Growth continues in Germany too!

In the summer of 2021, our new facility for manufacturing custom-engineered special profiles was officially inaugurated. The investments amounted to around 10 million euros.

The first construction phase involved the building of a 3,500 m2 production and storage facility. In addition, around 10,000 m2 of extra traffic and storage areas are now available outdoors, along with a two-storey office and staff building.

The expansion is a clear commitment to the Moringen location and secures valuable jobs for the future.
