Made in the Black Forest: About Siedle

What defines Siedle? We believe it is the people above all else. What they do, how they do it, the level of care, concentration and precision with which they work. And the positive effect this has on the quality of our products. Therefore it is only right that our employees are the focus of our company film.

Origins and outlook

We’ve grown from a pioneer of door intercoms to a leader in building communications innovations with systems in use worldwide – in small and large residential buildings, in companies, clinics, concert halls and museums.

Siedle commitment to architecture

Commitment to architecture

What effect do megatrends such as globalisation and digitalisation have on architecture and building technology? To what extent do boundaries shift between public and private, between the virtual and the real world? Do we want greater security – or would we rather retain more freedom? The questions we face are more complex than ever. This is why Siedle addresses them. And supports organisations and formats that are tackling these issues.
