Detalles del cliente

El fundador de nuestra compañía, era un inmigrante austriaco, un hombre de negocios y un visionario. En 1873 compró una fundición en Wisconsin rural que produjo una variedad de hierro fundido y productos de acero.

Diez años más tarde, tomó un producto en su línea, lo calentó a 1700 ° F y lo roció con polvo de esmalte. Colocando una foto de ella en el centro de su catálogo de una página, lo llamó ""un calderero del caballo. Cuando está amueblada con cuatro patas servirá como una bañera.

Desde esos humildes comienzos, nuestra compañía se ha convertido en una familia multifacética de marcas globales que lideran el camino para mejorar el sentido de vida de nuestros clientes.
