Karl and Ernst Stockburger found their company on 15 September in a 5 x 20 meters corrugated iron barrack in Freiberg-Heutingsheim. The mechanical engineering company's first products for craftsmen and farmers are valve seat milling machines, band saws, agricultural equipment and cider presses.
Writing and drawing tools as well as metal-etched articles and clock cases expand the product range. The company already employs 15 people.

The construction industry, building trade, cleaning trade, agriculture, horticulture and even the railways use the well thought-out, user-friendly products, which are still consistently designed and manufactured at the Freiberg site - just a few hundred meters from the site where the company founders' corrugated iron shack stood 100 years ago.
