Our History

FabrikHistorisch

At our location, industrial sewing machines have been manufactured since 1874. Up to the expropriation in the year 1946, the company was in the possession of the firm founder Mr. Julius Köhler’s family. In the years up to 1993, industrial sewing machines for the manufacturing of knitwear were predominantly developed and manufactured under the brand "TEXTIMA". With the privatisation and a new market situation, the product profile changed to the development and production of special sewing equipment for technical textiles as well as niche products, such as shoe repair- and coat manufacturing machines. The very precise individual parts, building groups and assemblies are manufactured up to 70% in our own production facility in adherence to the DIN EN ISO 9001.
