The background of our company dates back as far as to the 80s of the 19th century when the company by the name of Schirm KG was established in Leipzig/Germany, a company that produced its first rubber extruders as far back as in the 1930s.
Shortly after their expropriation in the 1970s and their integration into the state-run company VEB Elast- und Plastverarbeitung Halle, Dr. Christian Köhler, who is the Managing Director of this company today, joined the organisation to work here as a development engineer.
The company that produced rubber processing machines exclusively for the former GDR / DDR was closed down by the Treuhandanstalt trust agency shortly after the German Reunification.
