history
The ironworks, founded in 1840, contributed significantly to the development of the village of Podbrezová and initially produced puddle irons for rails, cookware and parts made of cast iron. A Siemens-Martin furnace was installed in 1879 and tube production began in 1883. From 1930 pipes were manufactured using the Mannesmann process . In January 1941, the former state-owned company was incorporated into the Reichswerke AG for arms and mechanical engineering "Hermann Göring" . After the end of the Second World War, the company in Czechoslovakia became a state enterprise again, but the heavily damaged production facilities were not rebuilt until 1951.
