Terhalle Group
Terhalle was founded in 1986 as a carpentry company and has since developed into a medium-sized company with around 660 employees based in Ahaus-Ottenstein. The establishment of the Terhalle joinery took place in 1990 due to the increasing interest in carpentry work. Another milestone was the construction and assembly of the first houses in timber frame construction in 1992. Due to increasing demand, Terhalle has been able to construct turnkey buildings since 1995. In 2007, the product range was completed with the production of windows and facades.
In 2019, the company’s business activities expanded with the acquisition of a roofing company with around 50 employees in Aurich and the acquisition of a metal construction company with 90 employees in Legden. In 2022, the group of companies opened another location in Ahaus-Alstätte, at the beginning of 2024 the opening of a new location in Berlin Mitte and in mid-2025 the integration of the Probst carpentry shop into the group of companies.
We offer a wide range of services and products in the business areas of timber construction, roofing, commercial construction, interior fittings, windows and facades as well as metal construction. The group concentrates on individual production in order to guarantee high reliability and production quality.
Over the past 39 years, we have trained more than 380 apprentices in ten different professions. We also offer dual models in the fields of civil engineering and timber engineering. We impress with our expertise, commitment and pleasure in realizing our customers’ wishes.
