In the mid Fifties the business was now well established and Mr. Ingo Trepel began to combine machine tools with so called automation engineering. During this period the first lifting tables and scissor lifts were developed, still being integral part of automation installations. Main focuses at that time was the processing of flake boards and vessel platforms for roll on/roll off movements.
The fast growing business already at that time called for scissor lifts with a capacity from 500 kg to 500 ton.
