Our Milestones

1945: Wilhelm Layher Establishes The Company In Güglingen-Eibensbach

The origin of the family company is at the same time its future: The heart of the biggest manufacturer of system scaffolding beats in the State of Baden-Württemberg.

1965: SpeedyScaf® Revolutionizes Facade Scaffolding Construction

With just six basic elements and a few manual operations, this classic Layher equipment will “quickly” provide a safe working surface for all work. The definitive insertion-frame system made of steel and aluminium has been undergoing continuous further development since its launch in 1965. The weight reduction of 2.5 kg in 2001 made it even faster and increased safety during assembly.

1970: Internationalization Begins

Foundation of the first subsidiary companies in the Netherlands, France and Switzerland. Layher now has subsidiaries in 45 countries on every continent – with a close-knit network of national service centres.

1974: Allround Scaffolding – The Ground-Breaking Invention

With its bolt-free wedge-head connection technology and 8 connections on one level, Allround Scaffolding made of steel and aluminium has superseded conventional tube and coupler scaffolding. This original system offers an impressive variety of uses and has been continually improved since it was launched in 1974. With new products such as the Allround Scaffolding STAR Frame in 2007 and the Allround Scaffolding Bridging System in 2009, we have been creating additional applications and opening up new fields of business for our customers. In 2013, we set a new milestone in scaffolding construction with the fourth Allround Scaffolding generation – Lightweight.

2011: Establishment in South Africa

Layher establishes in Chloorkop, South Africa to support and supply the growing South African construction, industrial and events industries.

2019: A second location opens in Secunda, South Africa

In keeping with the promise of More Proximity, a new branch is established in Secunda to better service the local power, mining and chemical industries.

2021: Expansion to larger facilities in Germiston

With increasing activity across the SADC region and growing staff, Layher South Africa moves to Germiston where a larger stock can be held to meet the growing demands. The new premises also have a training centre as well as technical personnel for improved customer support on projects.
