Schempp-Hirth
The family-run company was founded in Göppingen in 1935 and has been based in Kirchheim/Teck since 1937. Its early bestsellers include the legendary Minimoa with its characteristic bent wings. It can still be seen at air shows to this very day – and is still the centrepiece of the company’s logo.
Today Schempp-Hirth makes high-performance sailplanes that win top places in competitions all over the world. Approximately 100 specialists laminate, assemble, polish and finish a maximum of 100 aircraft per year, entirely by hand.
