COMPANY HISTORY
01FOUNDATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The production of continuously variable chain transmissions and expansion disks was taken up in 1951. In this area, the company has enjoyed both national and international success since that date.
In April 1996, the company was integrated in the SCHLOTE GROUP and is now active in the market as Getriebe- und Antriebstechnik Wernigerode GmbH, primarily as a service provider in the automotive industry.
