In 1889 Carl Berkenhoff founded the Berkenhoff company, a wire drawing shop for fine wire in the Rehmühle near Herborn - Merkenbach . In 1893 Berkenhoff invented the first multiple wire drawing machine with four consecutive drawing processes and patented it. In 1923 the trading company was converted into a stock corporation and renamed Berkenhoff & Drebes AG. In 1981 the Merkenbach wire factories were merged with the metal foundry and wire factory in Heuchelheim- Kinzenbach and renamed into today's Berkenhoff GmbH.
