Ploß | Historie - 1995 gründnung

1995: Founding

Ploß & Co. was founded in 1995 by Harald Ploß. His idea of offering teak garden furniture to companies on the German market that were primarily concentrating on the indoor segment was highly innovative at the time and met with strong demand from retailers and consumers. Thanks to innovative product approaches and Harald Ploß’s good contacts within the market, the company soon flourished.

2015 to April 2022

After 20 years, the founder sold the company to the holding company Partenum. It was able to bring in Ralph Wenke as the new CEO of Ploß & Co. GmbH, a market specialist who had for years served as the managing director of various medium-sized enterprises. The workforce with its valuable know-how remained in place while the company’s sales operations were further expanded.
