Paul Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG celebrates the 90th anniversary of its establishment this year. What began in 1925 as a mechanical workshop has long since become an internationally active company in the three business areas of circular sawing technology, prestressed concrete technology and strand lifting technology. The quality of the family-run company from Upper Swabia is valued all over the world, as numerous projects prove: huge multi-blade circular saws for ripping large-size panels, ripsaws that have been in use for decades, prestress- ing technology for the construction of the Church of Our Lady, CFK lamellae for the stabilisation of an elevated road and state-of-the-art prestressing equipment in the concrete plant.
