Orgelbau Kögler GmbH is an organ-building company based in St. Florian, Upper Austria. It is the successor to the Oberösterreichische Orgelbauanstalt (St. Florian / Kögler) and subsequently the firm Orgelbau Breinbauer.
After organ builder Wilhelm Zika Sr. (1872–1955) took over the Breinbauer company in Ottensheim in 1921, the business moved to St. Florian in 1945 on the occasion of the restoration of the Bruckner organ in the St. Florian Monastery. From 1955, his son Wilhelm Zika Jr. (1905–1989) led the company, which was incorporated into the newly founded Oberösterreichische Orgelbauanstalt GmbH (Orgelbauanstalt St. Florian) in 1956, where Zika held the position of artistic director. In 1972, Helmut Kögler (born 1942), who had been with the company since 1960, became the owner and managing director.
After Zika's death in 1989, the company was renamed Oberösterreichische Orgelbauanstalt Kögler GmbH. Beginning in 1990, in collaboration with organ builder Bernhardt Edskes, the company turned to historically oriented organ building. In addition to building new organs with mechanical slider chests in the traditional craftsmanship style, they also restore historical instruments. Since Helmut Kögler's son Christian (born 1964) was appointed managing director in 2003, the company has been known as Orgelbau Kögler GmbH. Since then, the company has been exporting organs to other European countries.
