OUR HISTORY

1931 Company foundation

In 1920, as a chief engineer for agricultural machinery, Dionys Hofmann Senior began to develop balancing machines and founded his first company in 1931 in Germany.

1949 Production of the first weights

After making the first hand mold from plaster, Dionys collected from the local gun club lead scrap bullets to use them as raw material – in this way, the first lead wheel weights were born.
