The roots of the present firm FUCHS Schraubenwerk go back to the early 19th century. Only a few hundred meters from today’s production site, the family, aside from being active in farming, agriculture, and trade, began processing iron in one of the oldest known hammer mills of the Siegerland, the Haardter Hammer.

Following an initial investment in 1809, the share in Haardter Hammer was continuously increased and the hammer mill was transformed to an English-style puddling works. With the addition of a steel rolling mill, FUCHS & Company was founded in 1851. In 1894, the effects of a spectacular bank crash in Siegen lead to a total loss of all industrial activities.

Already in 1909, with the participation of the whole Fuchs family, the firm FUCHS + CO. was reestablished as a bolt and nut manufacturing company. Hot forged, and since 1911, cold forged fasteners were supplied mainly for railway, shipbuilding and construction firms, and the chemical industry.

By the late 1950s, FUCHS expanded the machine range with multi-stage cold forming presses. This did not only make the development of the first specialty fasteners possible, but also laid the path to gain competence in designing and producing cold formed precision parts.
