GALLER LAGER U.REGALTECHNIK GMBH

The company Galler has its origins in a galvanotechnical wholesale business in Detzenbodenbach in the Sudetenland. In the company founded by Wenzel Galler in 1917, wooden shelves were soon manufactured to initially store their own products sensibly, but also for wholesale customers and their products. Wenzel Galler's son, Robert Galler, joined the growing company and further expanded the wooden shelf production. After the end of World War II, Robert Galler relocated to Kulmbach in 1945 and, supported by his son Horst, took the bold step of starting anew as a shelf manufacturer in a small garage in the old town of Kulmbach. In 1955, the second son, Bruno Galler, joined the Kulmbach company after completing his military captivity and a brief stint as a chemist. Bruno Galler significantly shaped the business success of Galler and even the development of shelf technology in Germany. The wooden shelf was, for example, early and foresightedly expanded to include the material steel, and numerous inventions in connection and manufacturing technology repeatedly provided Galler with valuable competitive advantages. In addition to the specialized shelf known under the product name Galler Gamma, park benches were produced, as well as storage and operational technical facilities, such as steel and tool cabinets. However, the decisive factor for the success of the Galler company was the pallet racks OMEGA invented by Bruno Galler after the emergence of the standardized pallet as a goods carrier. The company Galler, which had long outgrown the garage, settled at "Am goldenen Feld 16" and grew into one of the leading shelf providers in Germany with a state-of-the-art production facility. The trend towards high-bay warehouses was also recognized early in the 1970s and utilized decisively and boldly. Thus, Galler also shaped the development of the most advanced storage technologies to this day and gives it a particularly appealing appearance with sophisticated architecture. At the beginning of the 1990s, the plant I at "Am goldenen Feld 16" was expanded, and shortly thereafter, the 26,000 square meter plant II at "Robert Galler Str. 1" was newly constructed on greenfield land. Additionally, the probably largest and most modern surface technology in shelf construction in the form of a cathodic dip painting system (KTL) was introduced, which represented another significant competitive advantage for Galler shelves. With the flow rack (Rack & Roll) and the Unideck storage platforms, two new products were also successfully established in the market. Today, the new company GALLER Lager- und Regaltechnik GmbH presents itself after the insolvency of Galler Stahlbau GmbH and the exit of the Galler family in the autumn of 2004 as an increasingly internationally oriented company that, after realignment, passionately and vigorously pursues new...
