History

We know where we come from.
We go to places, where we are needed.

Founded over 100 years ago, we look back on a long tradition and history, which we specifically cultivate. But what is much more important is the attitude and the skills we have acquired as a company.

Founder:
August Mössner

Because our values and attitudes, such as accuracy, precision, perseverance, reliability and flexibility are decisive advantages for our customers today and in the future. This attitude and the great experience have brought us and our customers a long way.

Hereafter, we would like to give you a brief insight into the most important developments and milestones of our company history.
