The company decided to start producing cars after the First World War . For this purpose, a completely new assembly plant was built in Chemnitz-Ebersdorf and a bodywork factory in Lichtenau . Production began in 1922. In 1925 the company went bankrupt and in 1926 production ceased. The plant in Scharfenstein became the property of DKW .

The first model, the Mollwagen 6/30 HP , was produced from 1922 and was replaced by the Mollwagen 8/40 HP in 1924 . Both had a four-cylinder engine from Siemens & Halske . There was also a small car from 1923, the Mollmobil . This model had a DKW engine with a capacity of 200 cm³ and offered space for two people in a row.
