history

From 1883 Adolf Buck produced agricultural machinery in Landsberg am Lech. In 1891 he merged with Johann Georg Dobler and they founded the Bayerische Pflugfabrik. The company primarily produces plows and tillage equipment. In the 10 years after it was founded, 100,000 "Landsberger plows" were sold.

After the First World War , the plow factory merged with Münchener Eggenfabrik AG to form the United Landsberger Pflug- und München Eggenfabrik AG. The majority owner of the new company was Gebrüder Stumm GmbH . In 1930 the site in Munich-Pasing was sold to the Deutsche Reichsbahn . During the Second World War , the plow factory was an armaments factory. After the war , hay tedders (Orion), haymaking technology, fertilizer spreaders, self-loading wagons and forage harvesters were also manufactured and it operated again as the Bayerische Pflugfabrik. Relatively early on, the company switched to the production of devices with three-point attachment .

In 1974 the parent company Gebrüder Stumm went bankrupt. The Austrian company Pöttinger Landtechnik took over the plow factory and relocated production to Grieskirchen . Today it operates as Bayerische Pflugfabrik Verwaltungs GmbH and is a small capital company .
