Our history
2016
In January 2016, Michael Gebhart founded the company and immediately began the inhouse manufacturing of stainless steel finishes: mirror-polished, vibration-polished, other polished surfaces and various grit polishes.
The company developed rapidly as a popular stainless steel sheet supplier:
- Setting swiftly benchmarks in the area of mirror polishing of stainless steel plates: the highest quality of Super Mirror No. 8 and Marine Mirror No. 9
- Starting the production of a new beadblasting-line
- Continuously increasing the speed and upgrading the quality of the surface processing
At the end of that year, mirrorINOX designed and installed the world's largest mirror-polishing machine for inox steel surfaces.
2017 - 2019
In a very short period of time, mirrorINOX products had already been specified in numerous projects by renowned architects, designers, and artists thanks to the development of our stainless steel and other metal finishing range:
- Further improvement of quality finishes such as the mirror-polished finishes Perfect Mirror No. 10® and No. 12
- Installation of the largest and most modern PVD/TiN-coating line in Europe
- Launching of a brand-new product range – nanoINOX® AFP/ETC-coating (AntiFingerPrint / Easy-To-Clean)
By the end of 2018, mirrorINOX opened the production site in Leingarten to extend the company’s facilities and therefore stainless steel surface treatment capacities.
2020
Within only 3 years, mirrorINOX operated at two locations with 30 employees and had started to build the new company premises.
The construction work proceeded at a very swift pace and the fusion of two locations took place as early as June 2020. mirrorINOX was able to move to a modern production and office complex in Cleebronn near Stuttgart and another new chapter in our corporate development began!
2021
The company expanded rapidly, creating jobs, developing new surface finishes, and achieving other set goals.
In December 2020, mirrorINOX received the ISO 9001 certification.
In spring 2021, an additional PVD/TiN-coating line for smaller parts was put into operation with excellent results within a very short time.
Due to a strong growth as a renowned stainless steel sheet and plate supplier, we had already reached the limits of our capacities in the newly built Cleebronn plant after only a few months. Therefore, we decided in the summer of 2021 to expand our production facilities, further acquiring a neighbouring plot to erect production halls 3, 4 and 5.
We are now looking forward to the future with anticipation and excitement!
"Since 2016 we are redefining surfaces, combining design with ingenuity, function and performance taking quality standards to the highest level, always focusing on the demands of our customers."
