Kirchdorf location: Steiermärkerstrasse 49 / 4560 Kirchdorf a.d. Krems / Upper Austria

1945 The forerunner to the Kirchdorf production plant was a modest manufacturing workshop in nearby Micheldorf, where machines from the Vienna plant in the Buchengasse were taken at the end of the war for safekeeping. This was the location for the production of electric cooking hotplates, heating radiators, oil burners, and shoe irons after the end of the war, and also for the production of the first post-war radio equipment. The profits achieved from this were used to finance the rebuilding of the destroyed plant in the Buchengasse. After the Vienna plant had been reconstructed, radio manufacture was moved back there again.
