Our company introduces itself
The company was found in 1859 by the 23 years old Heinrich Düvel (first generation) in a small leased timbered house on today´s company ground. The beginning was quite moderate.
This small workshop (approximately 30 sqm) has been renovated and restaurated. Nowadays it is a piece of jewellery on the company´s site.

| 1910/11 | The first modernization took place in the company introduced by Heinrich Düvel (second generation). Machines like dressers, molding cutter or band-saws were bought. The first assistants were hired and apprentices were trained. |

| 1934 | The machinery went to electricity and the sawmill was added. |
