In 1880 Gustav Fischer founded a machine factory for letterpress and paper converting machines, which from 1888 onwards, following the participation of Wilhelm Krecke, was named Fischer & Krecke GmbH. The type setting and filing machines invented by Fischer were produced there, later machines and tools for the printing trade, and platen and high-speed presses, and from 1890 rotary printing machines, which found a worldwide sale market.

Initially as special products, cross-bottom bag machines were manufactured from 1895 and large paper bag machines from 1900, for example for cement filling. In the 1920s and 1930s the production of anil printing machines started, later renamed to flexographic printing machines , with which plastic packaging can be printed. Gustav Fischer also introduced the monoline line casting machine in Germany, for the manufacture of which he founded a factory in Berlin in 1895 .
