ABOUT US

April 25, 1947

The founding of the company was done by Heinrich Nölle and Hubert Möller. The company dealt with the manufacture of simple electrical articles, such as waffle irons, hot plates and other articles, which were urgently needed after 2 World War. Later, handwork needles, knitting needles and other wire products were added. The flinging rod was developed from spring steel wire. It is still used.
