GRASS was formed more than 65 years ago. The history of the Mepla factory goes further back still, the company having manufactured furniture fittings in Germany as early as 1929. A little more than ten years ago, the Mepla works merged with Alfit AG from Götzis/Austria, which had been formed in 1976. Both companies were acquired by the international Würth group in the nineties, and since 2004 GRASS also belongs to the Würth group.
