ABOUT: WMF - Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik: History
In 1853, Daniel Straub, a miller from Geislingen, partnered with the Schweizer brothers to establish "Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer" in Geislingen. This was Straub's second venture; in 1850, he had founded Maschinenfabrik Geislingen from a small repair workshop he had created while working on Geislingen's renowned railway incline. This company primarily manufactured mill turbines and conducted business across Europe.
By 1862, the young company had already made a mark by winning a gold medal at the World Exhibition in London. In 1866, after the departure of Louis and Friedrich Schweizer, the company was renamed "Straub & Sohn" (Straub & Son). The company showroom, established in Berlin in 1868, gradually evolved into its first retail outlet. By 1871, the company employed 60 workers. By 1880, the workforce had grown to about 200, and the company was producing 960 different items.
In 1880, Straub & Sohn merged with "Ritter & Co." from Esslingen to form a public limited company named Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik. At the time of the merger, Ritter & Co.'s Esslingen factory was already utilizing the electroplating method of silver plating and had more modern production facilities, while Straub's company was the more profitable of the two.

WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik
The fine brass, copper and silver metalware produced by distinguished manufacturer Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) has adorned the tabletops of restaurants, hotels and homes around the world. WMF is especially prized by collectors for its Art Nouveau works of the late 19th century and Art Deco pieces manufactured throughout the early 20th century.
WMF traces its beginnings to 1880 when the merger of Straub & Sohn and Ritter & Co. formed the public limited company Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik. The company initially focused on tableware and decorative pieces, such as vases and planters. In 1892, WMF introduced its patented “perfect hard silver plating,” a technology that distributes twice as much silver to the sections of cutlery that experience the most wear, allowing the whole piece to hold its luster longer than other silver-plated products.
In 1905, WMF acquired a majority holding of Orivit AG, a company in Cologne that manufactured products from a tin alloy, further expanding its range of materials. By 1910, its main facility in Geislingen, Germany, employed 4,000 workers. It had branches in Vienna, Warsaw and London, and printed a catalog in 12 languages.
As a German business, WMF experienced extensive asset loss in the aftermath of the world wars. However, by 1950, its main facility once again had a workforce of more than 3,000 employees, and its high-quality products returned to popularity. There was an increase in demand for its Cromargan cutlery as well as work by WMF’s preeminent lighting designer, Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
By the 1960s, WMF’s main facility had 5,800 employees. More factories were opened to keep up with demand. WMF is now one of the largest manufacturers of metalware in the world and continues to produce pieces of superb quality. The company has over 200 branches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and owns branches in 40 other countries.
