    Family Business

    Humidor Production in its fifth generation

    The history of Gerber, a family-owned business, reads like an exciting novel. Established over 130 years ago, the company’s founder, Carl Gerber, used his status as a master carpenter, as the foundation of the company. The establishment of the first joiners’ workshop in the inner city of Duisburg laid the foundation of the close relationship between the family Gerber and the city of Duisburg. From the very beginning Gerber has proved with finest craftsmanship and became a permanent fixture throughout the entire region.

    During the Second World War in the course of the bombardment the joiners’ workshop burnt down in 1943 up to the foundation walls. The grandson of the enterprise founder was stationed at this time far away from home in Berlin as a soldier. Because of his strong involvement to his birthplace Karl Gerber returned after his war captivity with his Berlin woman to Duisburg. In spite of the entire destruction of the workshop the name „Gerber“ has got an excellent reputation in Duisburg. In a burnt down house Karl Gerber has set up his temporary workshop with only 500 German Reichsmark in his pocket. Starting from there he built up his new existence out of nothing. Now the company extends far beyond regional borders.

    Even then, competence, passion, and commitment to quality were the key factors that were eventually passed down through the generations and made the company what it is today. Despite all the changes over the years, the company’s original philosophy has remained the same: „Success and stability can only be realized with great dedication, love of profession, entrepreneurial courage, and vision.“

    Today, master carpenter Karl-Heinz Gerber Sr. and Karl-Heinz Gerber Jr., MBA, drive the business forward with new ideas and are optimistic about the future: „We are proud to follow in the footsteps of our fathers and grandfathers and to be consistently successful with new ideas.”
