According to their website, this firm was established in 1854 to make steam engines, sawmills, and flour mill machinery. They also made Aram's patent axle turning lathe starting in 1874, drop hammers in 1887 and a cold hydraulic tire setting machine in 1894. They are still in business today, although their sawmill machinery is long in their past. They now specialize in hydraulic presses. They are part of Doerfer Companies.
