Arnold Heinrich Meyer could not have known, when he started his tiny metalworking and repair shop with an engine in Twistringen in 1913, that he was laying the groundwork for a development that, more than a century later, we can look back on with pride.

The tiny mechanical engineering firm grew into one of the Twistringen region's most prosperous medium-sized businesses, with goods and knowledge in high demand on a global scale, thanks to the persistent inventiveness of the succeeding generations. At the same time, it has been feasible to successfully adapt the Twistringen region's long-standing heritage of processing sustainable raw materials like straw, coconut, and jute into contemporary production processes.

This was it.
