'''Kiesel Bauchemie GmbH u.Co. KG''' is currently located in Esslingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and is part of the German chemical manufacturing industry's technological leaders.

History
On January 1, 1959, the company was founded in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim by Otto and Irmgard Kiesel, initially as a putty manufacturer for the underground pipe systems. In 1963 Kiesel moved manufacturing to Esslingen-Berkheim. By the 1970s, the product range of adhesives, mortars, levelling compounds for tile and stone along with products for the installation of textile and elastic floor coverings were added.

Through the 1980s company outgrew the original headquarters in Esslingen-Berkheim due to the extended product line and administration, so production was moved to a new facility located in Esslingen-Sirnau, where it is still at to this day. Simultaneously, Kiesel established a new conference and technology centre called the “DenkFabrik” (ThinkTank) in Berkheim, where the technical and R & D moved. These premises were additionally extended in 2020.

The company is presently managed by the second and third generation of the Kiesel family under the leadership of Wolfgang Kiesel and Beatrice Kiesel-Luik and the technical managing director Dr. Matthias Hirsch.

Kiesel Bauchemie initiated its global presence in the late ’80s with current subsidiaries with live technical centers across Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, New Zealand and the United States of America.

Kiesel is now one of the global leading technology manufacturers of green, and LEED-certified, complete installation systems engineered for the textile, resilient floor, wood flooring, tile and natural stone trades specializing in high-performance grouts, mortars and levelling compounds.
