Founders Christian Schulz

The oldest brewing equipment manufacturer in the world, founded in Bamberg in 1677 by Christian Schulz — a coppersmith who had just married the widow of his late master, and who forged kettles for the brewers of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. Still owned and run by the family in its tenth generation, still building in Bamberg, and now supplying brewing, malting and distilling plant in more than seventy countries.
