His uncle Wolfgang Schlumpf was building hydraulic rams as early as the 1860s . Johann Georg Schlumpf improved the construction and built his first hydraulic ram in 1885. He installed this at his private house, which, as was customary at the time, was not connected to a local drinking water network. In 1886 he founded a mechanical workshop for plumbing and electrical installations, water supply systems and hydraulic rams in Steinhausen. In 1924 he passed the management of the company on to his son Johann Melchior Schlumpf. In his spare time he developed projection apparatus with which he could generate moving images with the help of hand-painted glass panels. Johann Georg Schlumpf died on July 25, 1942 at the age of 84 in Steinhausen .

In 1886 Johann Georg Schlumpf founded a mechanical workshop for sanitary and electrical installation, pipeline construction, water supply systems and hydraulic rams in Steinhausen. In 1924 his son Johann Melchior Schlumpf took over the management of the company and from then on also manufactured stable furnishings. Johann Melchior Schlumpf managed the company until his death in 1958, after which his son Hans Schlumpf took over the company management. This expanded the product portfolio to include general mechanical engineering, maintenance and refurbishment, clamping elements for paper, film and foil processing and winding components. In 1965, for example, the company developed a 30 meter long gumming machine. The hydraulic rams also continued to be produced. He also gradually built up international sales channels. From 1972 the company built special machines for paper mills in Sweden and entered into global partnerships to further expand the portfolio. In 1987 the company management passed to Hans Peter Schlumpf . From 1989 he built up a worldwide sales network. In 1992 the subsidiary Schlumpf Inc. was founded in Windham (Maine) , USA . In 1999, Hans Schlumpf left the company. Since this year, his great-grandson Florian Schlumpf has also been part of the company's management. He had already founded Schlumpf Innovations a year earlier, which also manufactured special machines for the paper industry. In 2004 the company moved its headquarters from Steinhausen to neighboring Hünenberg . In 2008 Hans Peter Schlumpf passed the management on. In 2012, the subsidiary Scandinavia AB was founded in Sweden. In the meantime, Schlumpf AG has completely handed over the hydraulic rams division to Schlumpf Innovations in Vilters.

In addition to Schlumpf AG, the Schlumpf Group today also includes Schlumpf Inc. (founded in 1992, based in Windham (Maine), USA) and their subsidiaries Sebago CNC and Armanni USA , Elite Cameron (based in Taunton , England). The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of winding components for the paper and film industry.
