The ADLER-Werk Lackfabrik (Paints factory) is an independent company in Tyrol in the ownership of the third generation of the Berghofer family. Till today, ADLER is a family business and wishes to remain so.
Ing. Günther Berghofer, an engineer and the CEO and stakeholder of the ADLER-Werk Lackfabrik since many years, handed over the reins of the company in 2001 to the third generation. His dauther, Ms. Andrea Berghofer, took charge of the corporate management together with Dr. Manfred Oberreiter, a graduate engineer and employee since many years.
We at ADLER do not leave anything to chance. This is why we hold the reins in our own hands. This applies to production right up to marketing and sales; from consultation right up to warranty; from the product right up to processing and application. This gives us freedom and independence in our decision-making.
As Austria's leading manufacturer of paints, varnishes and wood preservatives, ADLER is known well beyond these borders for its high-tech products. High quality and comprehensive knowledge of the application are the building blocks of our success. We lay emphasis on environment-friendly products and we live out our motto, "Clean working, and lean environment".
The needs of the clients and customer benefits stay in the foreground when it comes to quality and partnership. Our value system towards the employees and customers places human beings in the focus of the organisation.


„Since the time that i can recall, everything revolves around ADLER - and it is good that this is so. Employees, customers and vendors - we are all part of a large family!“
Andrea Berghofer is the granddaughter of the company founder, Mr. Johann Berghofer. She is the CEO of ADLER since July 2001.

„To be nothing but the best - that is our primary objective. Best quality and best service - and, of course, the best team - make us a strong and reliable partner!“
Since July 2001, he is part of the Corporate Management, and, together with Ms. Andrea Berghofer, manages the fortunes of the ADLER factory.
