65 years ago Johann Kling founded the company Spenglerei Kling (GmbH) in Oberstdorf, a company now rich in tradition. His son, the master roofer Meinhard Kling, joined the company only five years later and was to have a decisive influence on the development of the company.

Former Management
The prominent entrepreneurial personalities Meinhard and Anneliese Kling are known and
appreciated in expert groups. They continue to provide advice and support to the
operational business of the Spenglerei Kling.
The managing director Andreas Kling passed the nationwide master’s examination in
Stuttgart with distinction. With the support of Eva Kling, he developed the "Kling systems"
into the performance-conscious and inexpensive overall package, which can be purchased
today from the specialist dealers.
In the wintertime he produces flowers, weathercocks, witches, birds and dragons which
already decorate a number of houses.
