of experience in casters: with pride we can say there is hardly an office furniture manufacturer in Europe that we do not supply to.
Welcome to your caster specialist!
The GROSS STABIL brand is internationally known as a specialist for chair and furniture casters and glides. Our products are distributed worldwide and for the North American Market we round off the portfolio with other additional furniture components for a complete offering.
Our customers appreciate not only the design of our products, highest product quality and our sustainable solutions, they also value our quick delivery times and our helpful and accommodating customer service. The Headquarters for GROSS STABIL CORP. is located in Coldwater, Michigan – close to a lot of the major office furniture manufacturers.
Product development and production are headquartered in Germany at GROSS+FROELICH, our parent company. GROSS+FROELICH also positioned itself in the market with numerous patents and design awards, especially for our MOVE product family. This is true Made-in-Germany quality in practice and also a significant advantage over our competitors. Some of our products are produced in our partner factories in Asia, though always under our design directive and quality control.
Despite all innovation, tradition is a top priority at GROSS+FROELICH: the company was founded in 1879 in Stuttgart (Germany) as a cast iron foundry. In 1960, they added a plastic injection molding production for casters, and shortly thereafter the product portfolio was expanded to include chrome-plated ball and furniture casters. GROSS+FROELICH as well as GROSS STABIL continue to be a family owned business, currently managed by the 5th generation.
Environment & Sustainability
Our products are integrated into the design of our customers’ products - often over a long period of time. While an honor, this also poses us with a challenge, but plastic and sustainability do not have to be opposites! Our engineering enables the lowest possible material volume and its high quality and durability are more than convincing.

Quality Management
Our integrated management system is certified according to the international standards DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality), 14001 (environmental) and 50001 (energy management). This is a given for us and we take great pride in our quality. Protecting our customers is as much a concern as it is an obligation for us – therefore we only use materials regulated via REACH or RoHS, for example.
