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!
