The beginning around 1922

During the inflationary period around 1922, master carpenter Alois Eggenweiler set up his own business. Under the most primitive and today almost unimaginable conditions, he founded a cabinet maker's workshop in Urach at the foot of the Swabian Jura as a one-man business, which is now known all over the world in the relevant specialist circles. The first workbench was created at his wife's kitchen table.

It was pretty easy to foresee that the company would soon have to be relocated due to a lack of space. In 1924 he and his family (wife, daughter and son Adalbert) moved to a larger workshop in Reutlingen, Kanzleistr. 47 um. This is also where the unintended path to the production of model components began, because originally only furniture parts were to be produced. At first, the new location had to be worked on with the simplest means, machines could hardly be bought ready-made, and the financial resources were also lacking. But necessity is the mother of invention and so circular saws and other auxiliary machines were built with Swabian ingenuity.
