Klaus Durlach
Klaus Durlach was born and raised in Rastatt, Germany. In 1980, Klaus started his career in his family’s business, Durlach GmbH, where he learned the trade of a mason and concrete craftsman. After the apprenticeship, Klaus kept working for his father as the foreman of Durlach GmbH. In 1989, Klaus went to the University of Constance in order to get his Master’s degree in Masonry/Concrete Technology. Thereafter, he became a partner in the family business and continued working as a construction manager. Durlach GmbH expanded to Florida in 1996 and formed the independent company of Durlach Industries, Inc.
In 1998, Klaus took sole ownership of Durlach Industries, Inc. and became a certified General Contractor, while his brother Joachim took charge of the German operations of Durlach GmbH. In 2000, Durlach Industries, Inc., moved to its current location in Bradenton, but plans are in the making to move to a facility in Palmetto, which is going to be twice the size of the current one.
