History of the Graubner company
Sebastian Graubner was already very innovative and an entrepreneur as a child and teenager. Together with a friend, he opened a mobile bicycle repair service and advertised it in the regional press. With tools in their saddlebags, they drove to their customers to repair their bikes.
At the age of 17, his dream career was to build sailing boats. So after leaving school in 1986, he first worked at sea as a dishwasher and then went to Italy to learn the craft of wooden boatbuilding at the Sangermani boatyard in Lavagna. Initially without any knowledge of Italian, he eventually learned the fine art of boatbuilding. In 1989, he founded the Graubner company.
