=== History === | === History === | ||
Netstal dates back to the year 1857, in which the Maschinenfabrik, Eisen- & Messinggiesserei Ulrich Rietmann & Cie in Netstal/Switzerland was founded. | |||
In 1945, Netstal sold its first injection molding machine and a few years later, construction of the plant in Näfels, the location of the current headquarters, began. | |||
The company expanded steadily in the following decades and was responsible for multiple injection molding technology milestones. | |||
1992, KrausMaffei acquired a majority stake in Netstal-Maschinen AG. Find additional information on the company's development here. | |||
