About us

We are a midsize family business from the Sauerland region in Germany. Since our founding in 1889, our company stands for individual, customer oriented solutions and reliable quality.

Thanks to having our own production and in-house engineers we are able to provide solutions tailored to the needs of our customers with flexibility and competence.

Shunting accessories, railway fastenings and clamps are our speciality.
