Stuttgart
Established in Stuttgart in 1961 by Dr. Hermann Holbein, our company traces its roots back to a time when gas stations relied mainly on attendants to operate the pumps. To alert employees of an approaching car, Dr. Holbein, an innovative engineer with a love for invention, created a bell signaling system. This automatic tank signal not only marked a technological advancement but also inspired the name of our enterprise, which began producing these systems at its inception.
