It all started in 1872, when the Meer brothers founded an engineering factory in Mönchengladbach. Today, the location benefits more than ever from its traffic-favorable situation for heavy-load transports: There are two traffic hubs practically on the doorstep - in the north-south direction: freeway 61, and in the west- east direction: freeway 52. Also nearby is Krefeld, where heavy components are loaded onto barges on the river Rhine, taking them ultimately to customers worldwide.
