History

Engineer Gerd Hofmann starts the commercial enterprise “Regel- und Messtechnik” in Witten a.d. Ruhr. The new dies casting process developed with his assistance helps his oil burner product line “Taifun” with a highly successful market launch. The company continues its growth at the new location in the town of Rhade in North-Rhine Westphalia.

The new development department develops new models – in the expanded business field of oil and gas burners – ready for mass production.
