Wilhelm Steenbeck (born February 28, 1896 in Hamburg ; † March 24, 1975 there ) was a German engineer .

Life

In autumn 1923 he and August Harder founded the Harder & Steenbeck metal goods factory in Altona on the Elbe , which initially produced electrical parts for the production of radio receivers and later also equipment for demonstrating physical and electro-physical experiments in schools. With the global economic crisis at the end of the 1920s and the austerity measures that followed, schools ceased to be buyers. Wilhelm Steenbeck left the company, which had to be downsized in order to survive in the market. Harder & Steenbeck has been manufacturing airbrush pistols since 1950.

In 1931 he founded his next company, W. Steenbeck & Co., in Hamburg as a precision engineering company. Together with Günter Bevier he developed the first cutting table with horizontally lying film plates and eingespiegeltem screen. In 1953 he brought out the ST 200 for 16 mm material, 1 × picture and 1 × sound SEPMAG ("separate magnetic sound carrier").

In 2003 the company, not the company, was moved from Germany to the Netherlands.
