J. Schmalz GmbH was founded as a razor blade factory in 1910 in Glatten in the Black Forest. Over the years, the company’s products changed from razor blades to transport equipment and finally to vacuum technology. The company is one of the leading suppliers of vacuum technology in the fields of automation and manual handling and clamping. Schmalz employs more than 950 people (2015). The company’s sales network includes 16 subsidiaries in China, Finland, France, India, Italy, Japan, Canada, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey and the USA. == History == In 1910, Johannes Schmalz founded the “Johannes Schmalz Rasierklingenfabrik” in Glatten. The “Glattis” brand was both well-known and successful in Germany, selling up to 600,000 razor blades every month. The proliferation of the electric shaver required the company to change its focus. From 1948 onwards, Artur Schmalz made innovative developments in the field of light motor vehicles. Schmalz supplied luggage trailers and mobile steps to airports and transport equipment to furniture factories. When Kurt Schmalz took over the management of the company in 1984, the company moved in a new direction and began to specialise in vacuum technology. In 1990, Wolfgang Schmalz joined the company’s management. Together, the two brothers have transformed a company with a long tradition into an international company. 1998 saw the opening of the company’s first branch office in Switzerland. Today, Schmalz has a sales network of 17 branch offices across the globe. In 2008, the company’s production area in Germany was increased by 10,170 m². 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J. Schmalz GmbH」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
