About us

The first step: Richard Trenkwalder sets up his own temporary employment agency, Trenkwalder Engineering, and places workers with engineering companies. 

Trenkwalder conquers new markets: The company, which has grown into Trenkwalder Personaldienste AG, expands into Central and Eastern Europe and opens its first foreign branch in Slovakia. 

On the way to becoming number 1: Further locations are added in Hungary, Italy and Germany as well as in the Czech Republic. In Austria, the company becomes the leading personnel service provider. 

Gaining a foothold and keeping pace: Trenkwalder is now also represented by its own branches in Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Poland. In Hungary and Slovakia, the company becomes the market leader.

Firmly established without standing still: Trenkwalder continues to expand - to Liechtenstein and Switzerland, followed by Turkey, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania and Greece. In October 2007, a jury of experts names Richard Trenkwalder "Entrepreneur of the Year". 

Everything under a new roof: The Droege Group, a family-owned company based in Düsseldorf, acquires more than 75 percent of Trenkwalder International AG (now Trenkwalder Group AG), including all its subsidiaries. 

Trenkwalder goes digital: Finding the best candidates means addressing and
inspiring people on social media. Beyond country-specific top-level domain boundaries. Mobile and social recruiting as well as international recruiting are now standard. As the recruiting channels grow, so does the service portfolio. Trenkwalder secures a place as an expert in HR services and consulting,
executive search and business process outsourcing. 

Looking back and moving forward: Trenkwalder celebrates its 30th anniversary. 

Log in and outsource: Trenkwalder strengthens its profile as a BPO provider and from now on also offers IT services to close the gap between available and
required skilled workers.

Here and now: Trenkwalder has established itself as one of the leading partners in Europe for holistic hybrid solutions in the areas of HR services, outsourcing and technology.
