We are committed to staying true to our roots while continuously striving for improvement. The milestones we have reached throughout our company’s history demonstrate that we have chosen the right path, and that our approach to furniture design is acclaimed worldwide.

In 1959, Erwin Berghammer established a small joinery business in Ried im Innkreis. Driven by his pioneering spirit and innovative mindset, he quickly transformed the company into an ambitious enterprise. The brand name TEAM 7 was registered as early as 1965. It stands for teamwork—one of the hallmarks of our company to this day—and for the seven managers who ran the business at the time.

By 1980, TEAM 7 had transitioned to fully organic production and now exclusively manufactures naturally treated solid wood furniture, staying true to its promise of using pure solid wood: “The finest hardwood, assembled without formaldehyde, finished with natural oil—and that’s it.” With this visionary step, TEAM 7 became a true pioneer of eco-friendly furniture. The opus 1 furniture range was unveiled in 1982. Made from alder, a native wood known for its rapid regrowth, this collection was designed to last at least as long as it takes for a tree to grow.

TEAM 7 received its first-ever Red Dot Design Award for its magnum table with patented 2soft extension technology. Since then, we have won more than 20 international accolades, highlighting the premium quality of our furniture in both design and functionality.

TEAM 7 is dedicated to producing pure solid wood furniture with timeless designs and trend-setting technology. To this day, our company is renowned for its ability to develop visionary solutions for enhanced living comfort and customisation. The height-adjustable k7 cooking island, launched in 2007, is just one example of a series of revolutionary design concepts.

Numerous international certifications in energy, environmental sustainability, quality, and safety management provide proof of our commitment to sustainability. TEAM 7 meets stringent criteria and is certified to the globally recognised standards ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management). Since 2011, our company has also held EMAS certification for its consistent dedication to sustainable business practices.

A new logistics centre in Pram, spanning 7,000 sqm, is equipped with cutting-edge hardware and software, forming a key component of our value-added chain. The site area has doubled to 140,000 sqm, creating more space for gently seasoning our wood. An ultra-efficient energy centre has also been built. Thanks to these infrastructure developments, TEAM 7 is now a more reliable and productive partner than ever.

Our vision has become a reality. The new TEAM 7 World blends state-of-the-art technology with authentic craftsmanship. The result is a hub of inspiration and innovation that brings the art of living with wood to life. This eco-friendly, low-tech building meets the highest design standards while fostering a healthy and sustainable working environment. A show kitchen with a sky bar, a restaurant serving organic food, and a TEAM 7 flagship store covering 1,200 sqm are also integrated into this multifunctional space.

Georg Emprechtinger’s children have stepped up to join their father in leading the company, with his son, Stefan, taking on a management role and his daughter, Elisabeth, becoming Head of Marketing. Together, they plan to continue the unique story of this family-owned and operated business—a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and pioneering innovation.
