History of Franzen Maschinen

In 1895 Johannes I. found a forge. He invented the so called “Eifelhöhenpflug” (plough). These were sold until 1920.

After his death his son Johannes IV. took over the business, after successfully completing his engineering studies, in 1983. Encouraged by his studies he restructured the business.
