History

A family business through the ages

The Hans Schillig Garage in Lachen was founded in 1979 and in 1981 Hans Furrer Sr. joined the garage as workshop manager. In 1984, the family business was renamed Schillig AG, which is well-known in the region. In 1988 Brigitta Furrer also began working for the company, taking care of the office and administration. Together with her husband, she was elected to the Board of Directors in 1997 and together they formed the new management team. Later, the shares were purchased and since 2003 the company has been fully owned by the Furrer family.

A company on the move

A constant expansion of the product range, the pursuit of good service and a modern infrastructure led to further changes. In 2009, the new Audi Centre in Lachen was opened in order to do justice to the brand and the growing demands. The company now employs 36 people and, in addition to its core business, has been delighting customers with innovative ideas and events for several years now.

A family remains true to itself

In 2014, the company continues to honour its tradition as a family business. Son Hans Furrer Jr. joins the company and starts working as a service manager. In 2016, the Furrer family opens a new chapter in the company's history. The company is renamed Furrer Auto and since then has stood for the credo with its own name: Strong brand. Good service.
