Our Story

Two generations. The same passion for entrepreneurship.

  1. 1994

    Rafael Schmiel started his own business at just 18 years old.

    One of his first major projects was the complete translation of SHD's software solutions in Andernach from German into Polish – including every user interface, operating instructions and manual.

    Even then, technology, digitalisation and practical solutions were at the heart of his work.

  2. 2026

    More than 30 years later, Fabian Schmiel – also at the age of 18 – founded Schmiel Consulting together with his father.

    Today, Schmiel Consulting combines decades of hands-on experience with modern technology, artificial intelligence, online marketing and clear strategies for businesses.

Tradition meets innovation.
Experience meets new ideas.
Two generations – one shared goal:
Helping businesses succeed for the long term.

Why the combination works

Modern content expertise meets entrepreneurial experience: Fabian knows how content is consumed today – Rafael knows what businesses need so that visibility actually turns into enquiries and orders.

This mix ensures your online presence doesn't just look modern, but genuinely fits your business, your audience and your goals.

  • Personal support instead of changing account managers
  • Short paths and quick decisions
  • Honest recommendations – including when a service isn't worth it for you
