From
the early days
The original frister+rossmann
factory is believed to have started manufacturing
domestic sewing machines in 1864 at a factory
in Berlin. |
| |
| In
1925 the frister+rossmann factory was taken
over by Gritzner-Kayser and production and
export continued under the brand name of frister+rossmann.
|
| |
| From
1920 to 1939 the first electrically operated
domestic sewing machines were imported into
the UK. Imports stopped between 1939 and 1945
then after the war the U.K. importer bought
all the rights to the frister+rossmann
trade marks and frister+rossmann
became a British registered trading name.
|
| |
| Gradually
West German prices became less competitive
and in 1963/1964 the manufacturers Gritzner-Kayser
were taken over by Pfaff, the large German
manufacturer, and production was taken over
by one of Japan's largest manufacturers and
biggest exporters of sewing machines. |
| |
| In
1997 frister+rossmann was
taken over by Michael Orr who has had close
associations with the company for almost 30
years and our current range of machines is
imported from two quality manufacturers in
the Far East. |
| |
| Our
history has been one of retaining traditional
values which include the use of the finest
engineering and technology to meet the needs
of our customers. |
