During the decades that followed the founding of the company in 1958, it became very evident that Anton Röhr had followed the right instinct when he chose his line of business.
The steady expansion of the corporate structure carried out by the subsequent generation has repeatedly proved that the original idea all those years ago has not lost any of its contemporary relevance.
In fact, quite the opposite can be seen...
