From the forging of sabers and sickles to competence centre for development and production of components for overhead line transmission
Our Milestones
As early as in the 14th century, the company active under the name of “Mosdorfer” since 1712 was mentioned as a smith’s shop on the Weizbach. In the middle of the 18th century, Mosdorfer almost obtained a monopoly for supplying the imperial army with sabres. When the production of blades ceased to be a field of business promising a secure future, Mosdorfer applied for the license to produce sickles. In the 19th century, yearly production of sickles reached its highest level with about 500,000 pieces. Even then Mosdorfer was a company that was active worldwide and exported its products to such countries as Turkey, Russia, Brazil or the US.
