Feel the future
Understanding history
Was Heinrich Georg able to look in to the future in the late 1940s? Could he have foreseen that he would significantly advance metalworking with inventions such as the reinforcing steel straightening machine, the Lilput shear and the world’s first automatic straightening and cutting machine?
Of course Heinrich Georg did not foresee the future. However, he could feel it.
After all, anyone who creates something new to improve the present must believe in the future. What drives GEORG is looking ahead with our customers, partners and employees to develop future solutions that will last – not only today but also tomorrow. We owe this attitude to Heinrich Georg’s sense of the future.
His first machine inventions for straightening and cutting of iron have formed the base for our today’s globally active, medium-size and highly diversified high-tech company.
