History
Otto Flühs, then a 40-year-old set-up engineer for automatic lathes, founded the company in 1926.
The economic conditions at the time were as bad as they could ever have been.
Erich, his son, also started to work in the firm in the same year. After his father's death, it was Erich who took over the company and gave it its distinctive style.
As early as 1935 it became possible to purchase the buildings which had previously been rented at the current site in Lüdenscheid Brügge.
The company enjoyed healthy growth until 1939, with the number of workers increasing from the original 4 to 15.
Even in those early days, the main material which was turned was brass, in particular for the faucet industry.
After the end of World War II, production began again in May 1945. Once again operations started with 4 employees, just as they had done in 1926.
By 1948, sixteen people were working for the company, and the first multi-spindle machine was purchased.
By 1951, at the start of the German economic miracle, the company had 55 employees.
Extensive building work started in the mid-fifties, eventually leading to a production area of more than 20,000 m² in the new millennium.
The work force increased to over 400 employees.
