1904
On February 15, 1904 Dr. Hugo Güldner, Dr. Carl von Linde and Dr. Georg von Krauss founded the Güldner-Motoren- GmbH in Munich, Germany 1906 Change of quarters to a new manufacturing site in Aschaffenburg. Production of motors from 20 to 700 horsepower begins. 1929 The till-now part ownership in the Linde Ice Machine business is complimented by the complete take-over by the Güldner-Motoren-Gesellschafft. A restructuring of the manufacturing program follows accordingly. 1933 Production of small diesel motors begins. 1938 Production expanded via gas driven motors and generators, aero engines, plough machines and diesel motors to the manufacture of tractors. The first Güldner tow tractor model A20 goes into series production. 1956 Production of the first hydrostatically driven vehicles in Aschaffenburg. 1958 The Hydraulics department was established - later to become the basis of the Industrial Trucks and Hydraulics Division. Production of the first forklift truck with hydrostatic transmission. 1969 The division concentrates on the hydraulics and forklift truck product ranges. The production of tow tractors is discontinued. To-date 300,000 diesel motors and around 100,000 tow tractors have left the Aschaffenburg factories. 1984 Merger with Fenwick to become Fenwick-Linde S.A.R.L. in France (warehouse materials handling equipment). |
