HORNBACH traces its roots to a family-owned carpentry business established in the 19th century and remains led by members of the founding family. Under the leadership of CEO Albrecht Hornbach, the company has pursued long-term growth through store investments, supply chain optimization and sustainability initiatives, such as energy-efficient store designs and responsible procurement practices.
