The history of Gebr. Steimel Johann Steimel founded a machine factory for the constructin of agricultural machinery in 1878. He produced threshers, hay tedders, sowing machines and similar appliances. Quite early, about the mid-eighties the line of production was broadened by hand-operated centrifugal cream separators. Very soon they became the main source of sales. Until 1925 the cast blanks necessary for production were manufactured in the own iron foundry. Even before World War 1 blood separators and de-oiling centrifuges for swarf processing were added. Today the company has a staff of more than 220 employees. It is a 100 % family-owned company and since the begining of 2002 has been managed, in the fourth generation, by Dipl.-Ing. Norbert Peth, a great-grandson of the company founder. |
