The master carpenter Kandidus Schraffl (1840 – 1895) lays the foundation stone for the company in 1865 with the founding of a carpentry business in San Candido in house no. 61 (today 5 Sesto street). He is the keeper of the guild chest of the craftsmen's community of the village. Kandidus develops the first water-powered woodturning machine.

The son of the company's founder, Kandidus II, took over the business after his father had died at an early age due to an industrial accident. With craftsmanship and a great love of tradition, his descendants led the carpentry business to steadily growing success, despite difficult economic times and the turmoil of the Second World War. A lot of hard work and great cohesion led to a future-strong success in the years to come.

After the death of his father, Kandidus III takes over the carpentry workshop and expands the business. He acquires the large workshop building of the second Franz Prey and fills it with new life. With innovative machines—thought up and constructed by the company boss himself—high quality furniture is now produced.

Kandidus IV joins the company. Future-oriented and with vision, he vouches for the connection of the tradition-rich company to the modern age.

In 1988, the workshop in Monguelfo was acquired and equipped with the latest technical achievements in wood processing. Through innovative production techniques, trained and qualified employees and powerful machines, customised living dreams are now realised. A furniture shop is opened in San Candido.

A branch of the furniture store is opened in Brunico.

This branch impresses with products from prestigious international furniture manufacturers.

Unique in South Tyrol and the surrounding area, the carpentry museum worth seeing is inaugurated at the company headquarters in Monguelfo. The changes in the world of work from the Industrial Revolution to the present day are vividly illustrated here.

In 2012, the façade of our workshop in Monguelfo was redesigned, and since then the Schraffl carpentry workshop has shone in new splendour.

In 2022, Micha Kandidus Schraffl joined the company as the fifth generation after completing a master's degree in economics. In the same year, Andreas Fedele also joined the team. Both are grandsons of Kandidus Schraffl, who sadly passed away that year at an advanced age of 102 years.

The corporate image has been completely revamped with a new logo and a modern website

The furniture store in Bruneck proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary. In this special year, the company was transformed from a General Partnership (SNC) into a Limited Liability Company (SRL), and after 159 years, the headquarters was relocated from Innichen to Welsberg.

Additionally, significant investments have been made: the panel saw, the CNC machine, and the filtration system have been upgraded, and an innovative nesting machine has been acquired. The company is strongly focused on the digitalization of its production and processes to operate efficiently and future-oriented.
