History

It all started in 1939.

Alois Gihl, from Bernried / Lower Bavaria, was stationed in Eppelborn during World War II.
During this time he met Anna, née Theobald, and settled in Calmesweiler.

In 1948 Alois Gihl founded a company that transported coal and building materials.

In 1950 Alois Gihl bought the quarry site in St. Wendel-Haupersweiler. There he began - initially by hand - with the production of ballast.

In 1960 the first construction machine (Zettelmeyer L501) was purchased.

In the mid-1970s, the company moved to Pfeffelbach / Rhineland Palatinate, where today there is a cooperation with the Juchem company in Niederwörresbach.

Alois Gihl GmbH was founded in 1977. Hermann Gihl became the managing director. For decades, Hermann Gihl was actively supported by his wife.
