C. Melchers & Co. was established on January 1, 1806 in Bremen, where the global company still maintains its headquarters to this very day. In the first few decades of the company’s history, over 30 ships sailed the oceans of the world under the Melchers flag, linking the ports of Europe, America and the Pacific. In the 1860s, C. Melchers & Co set up operations in Asia, where all its trading interests swiftly moved. At the same time, with the onset of steam ships, it abandoned its own shipping business to devote itself entirely to extending its trading operations. 1866 saw the establishment of the first branch in Hong Kong, in the wake of which China began to develop into a key lynchpin for the company’s business. The ensuing decades were a period of rapid growth for Melchers in China, with over 2,000 people employed at 12 branches and plants throughout the country. The First World War proved to be a setback for business relations, although business quickly recovered. It was not until the end of the Second World War in 1945 that business came to an almost complete halt. Even so, the company continued to survive, re-opening its first branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in the early fifties and gradually extending its branch network across Asia. Following the opening of the Chinese markets at the end of the seventies, Melchers set up branches here again, underscoring the significance of Chinese business for the company. With the establishment of a branch in San Francisco in the early eighties, the company also started to engage in US-Asian trade so as to gain a share of the rapidly growing trading relations between these two regions. Trade with China remains a key focus of the company’s overall business, comprising as it does imports of special natural products and finished goods on the one hand and exports of plant, machinery and supplies for the Asian industry on the other. Yet, business with South East Asia has since also come to the fore, with the company amassing broad-based expertise in marketing and selling consumer goods in particular. There are special departments for each article group in Bremen as well as at the foreign branches. They work largely independently within the overall company and are staffed by highly qualified experts. Over 1,000 employees in Germany and abroad assist customers and suppliers with their specialist knowledge. Rather than being based at the company’s headquarters, most of these employees are now stationed at subsidiaries, something which in turn reflects the company’s further development and the strategic alliances which it has forged.

1915: Founding Maschinenfabrik Berger was founded on 27.10.1915 by Ludwig Berger. The company's headquarters have always been located at Wienerstraße 35 in Knittelfeld. From the beginning to the end of the 1970s, in addition to special structures for various industries, machines were mainly produced for processing and transporting wood. 1950s: Development of two series products In the 1950s, the machine factory succeeded in developing two “real” series products: A motor-driven loom for producing reed mats and a press for pressing reeds into insulation boards. By the 1960s, these were produced in quantities of over 200 and exported to Iraq and Egypt. Spare parts for the robust and durable machines are still being manufactured today. 1980: Departure of the company founder After the death of Gustav Berger, the son of company founder Ludwig Berger, the company was taken over on 1.7.1980 by 2 Lower Austrian industrialists — Mirko Kovacs and Franz Mock. 1980: First collaborations with IBS Austria GmbH The machine factory has also been working with IBS Austria in Teufenbach since 1980. Initially, long grinding machines for ceramic drainage surfaces were developed together. As a result, components for paper machines made of stainless steel were also delivered to IBS Austria. 1993: Takeover by IBS Austria GmbH In 1993, Maschinenfabrik Berger was taken over by IBS Austria GmbH — with owners Heinz and Klaus Bartelmuss. At that time, the company had 40 employees. As a result, the production focus was consistently focused on components for the paper industry. With increasing sales, the machinery was successively renewed and expanded. At that time, a 5-axis long milling machine was already in use, which could process workpieces weighing up to 10 tons and an accuracy of 1/100 mm. Today: Modern, dynamic company with annual turnover of 20 million Today, Maschinenfabrik Berger stands for the highest quality of machine components for the paper and pulp industry — worldwide! With an annual turnover of around €20 million, the company is a modern, dynamic company that processes around 1,000 tons of stainless chrome-nickel steel annually using state-of-the-art machinery. A dedicated team, consisting of over 100 highly qualified employees, ensures smooth processes and the highest quality of execution.
