History

The founder

Company founder Georg Kiefer was born in Nuremberg in 1842, the son of a sculptor.  He initially trained as a carpenter, but then took work in Berlin and Frankfurt in the food industry. During the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 he performed his duty as a civilian caterer and then went on to run a food shop in Marseilles for several years.

 

1877-1882

The founding years

Many people who worked in flour processing suffered from health problems as a result of the formation of dust. This motivated him to found the company “Stuttgarter Maschinenfabrik Gg. Kiefer”, in Rotebühlstrasse in Stuttgart, on 18 March 1877 and to develop ventilation plants for application in these areas. He sold his products not only within Germany but also to many neighbouring countries and as far away as Africa and South America. In 1882 he purchased a mill in the Feuerbach district of Stuttgart to use as a new production site.
