History
In 1843 in Berndorf, Austria, the Berndorf Metalware Factory, or "Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik" was founded by Alfred Krupp, and the appointed his brother Hermann Krupp as mechanical director.

In 1957, after the nationalization of the former German industrial property, the Berndorf factory was established as a branch of Vereinigte Metallwerke Ranshofen-Berndorf AG.
