History and Seiler Business Segments

Seiler Instrument & Mfg. Co., Inc. was founded in 1945, by Eric H. Seiler and his wife, Dora L. Seiler. The Seiler business originally was established to manufacture and repair surveying equipment in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Eric H. Seiler arrived in the United States with a Master’s degree in Fine Optics from the Zeiss Jena School of Fine Optics in Jena, Germany. His appreciation of fine optics, craftsmanship, and pride in his work contributed to our core philosophy of quality and customer service. This legacy was passed on to his son, Eric P. Seiler, former Chairman of the Board, and his grandchildren; current CEO and President Rick Seiler, Executive Vice President, Tom Seiler, and Compliance Director, Louise Seiler Schaper.

With the family’s continued hands-on approach and guidance and our highly skilled support team the company business has grown from their original office in downtown St. Louis to a multi-faceted family operation facility with over 140,000 square feet located in the Industrial Park Center of Valley Park, Missouri (St. Louis Metropolitan area.)
