Niesmann Bischoff has established itself as a specialist leader in the niche luxury motorhome market
What started in 1955 from humble beginnings with Elfriede and Hugo Niesmann selling caravans, has grown into a first class manufacturer and dealer of luxury motorhomes. As a result of the innovative drive of the family pair, developments took place, and by the late 1950s it was declared the most important German caravan manufacturer of its day. To celebrate this milesone Elfriede and Hugo invested company profits into a 4000 square metre large exhibition site near Koblenz and employed two members of staff to run the shop floor. The company grew from strength to strength, ticking off one milestone after another over the next two decades. In 1975 it became the largest US importer of motorhomes but it was forced to discontinue its US efforts due to the rising dollar. This could have resulted in the company being forced into ceasing to trade, but thanks to continual and controlled evolution and a drive to succeed this was not the case for Niesmann Bischoff. New models were manufactured, sales increased in Europe, a new plant was built and eventually in 1996 it became part of Hymer AG, one of the largest manufacturers of motorhomes and caravans in Europe.
