Schmalz Distributors
Schmalz was founded by Johannes Schmalz in 1910 after designing a machine for creating high-quality razor blades. He set up the company’s first headquarters in Glatten, Germany and named is Schmalz Rasierklingenfabrik (Razor Blade Factory).
Although the company flourished with their razor blade products for almost 80 years, the company decided to revamp their primary product line in the early 1980’s. Dr. Kurt Schmalz, Johannes Schmalz’s grandson, thought of the idea of shifting the company’s focus on vacuum technology.
Kurt’s idea was a success. In just a few decades, the company grew faster than it ever did. In 1998, the company opened their first foreign subsidiary in Switzerland. More than a dozen more locations were acquired in the following years. Schmalz eventually made its mark in the worldwide vacuum industry due to their reliable products.
