Gerhard Gehri founded an individual tile-laying company.
The business of the then well-known Christen+Tobler was taken over at Via Chiosso 12 in Porza, where the company headquarters is still located today.
Andrea Gehri takes over the leadership of the company, which is renamed Gehri Piastrelle SA. The business grows with the addition of a natural stone workshop and a showroom covering more than 500 square meters.
March 3: Establishment of the Directors Board. Today, it includes 6 members—2 of whom are women—representing all areas of the company.
With the joining of Manuela Gehri as Marketing Manager, the company name changes to Gehri Rivestimenti SA, marking the beginning of a complete brand renewal.
A new, exclusive exhibition space dedicated entirely to natural stone is opened, complementing the existing showroom that features ceramics, mosaics, and commonly used natural stones.
The family business reaches its third generation with the entry of Deborah Gehri (sales manager).
