Gummiwerk KRAIBURG - Our History

70 years of tradition and modernity.

The history of Gummiwerk KRAIBURG started on 10/22/1947. In that year, Friedrich Schmidt senior began producing rubber compounds in Kraiburg-Hart, using rather limited resources and operating under very difficult conditions. While the beginnings of the company are rather humble, a solid foundation was laid for the future success of the KRAIBURG Group.

Thanks to the tireless work and commitment of the founder’s sons Peter and Fritz A. Schmidt, sales and production increased year on year.For more information on the history and the milestones of KRAIBURG, please visit the website of KRAIBURG Holding (mother company of Gummiwerk KRAIBURG).
