History

130 years of experience


The origins of the company date back to 1890: in this year Sigmund Scherdel founded a wire drawing mill in Marktredwitz and initially produced wire for the manufacture of piano strings. Very quickly, it was then decided to further process wire into technical springs. To this day, the traditional family company is fully owned by the founding family and has earned a firm place among the German world market leaders.
