Gloster has built a strong market position through its commitment to thoughtful design and carefully selected materials. The company’s roots reach back to West Africa in 1960, where a group of passionate entrepreneurs and furniture makers took the first steps on what would become a successful journey in furniture craftsmanship. In the 1980s, growing demand and reliable access to Gloster’s signature material – plantation-grown teak – had led to moving manufacturing to Indonesia. The Gloster factory has flourished there ever since and remains central to the brand today. Craftsmanship has always been at the heart of Gloster. Its furniture is not the result of anonymous mass production. Every rounded corner and every joint is shaped by hand. The quality of each piece reflects the experience, care, and skill of the people who make it. Today, the same passion and conviction that defined the brand from the outset continue to guide its work. Therefore, Gloster remains true to its identity as a furniture maker with a clear focus: designing and building exceptional outdoor furniture. Diethelm Keller has been involved with Gloster since its founding and acquired full ownership of the brand in 2011.
