Innovative Spirit Since 1948
Our Company History
Humble beginnings in a modest workshop have grown over the decades into an international tradition. Looking Back on 75 Proud Years of Company History
Franz Zingerle founds Zingerlemetal in South Tyrol, Italy.
Franz Zingerle sons, Martin and Georg, join the company and start producing beer garden table sets.
From 1993 on, we began production of premium folding tents under our Mastertent® sister brand.
New production sites and offices grow alongside increased client demand from 1995 to 2018, adding local Product Experts in countries from Spain to Japan to the here in the United States.
Georg Zingerle becomes the sole owner of the company and the siblings Stefan, Sonja and Thomas Zingerle join their father's family business.
Looking to spread access abroad to authentic European-made beer garden furniture, we launched our Charlotte, North Carolina headquarters to support state-side service and customers.
RUKU1952 is part of Zingerle Group, our parent manufacturing company. With our production all in-house, we design and build products beyond our iconic beer garden furniture like professional canopy tents, inflatables, serving pavilions and more. Discover our line of sister brands.
