Pöchtrager – a (hi)story of success
Pöchtrager was founded in 1979 as a repair workshop for agricultural machinery. Ten years later, thanks to many exciting enquiries, we started to establish ourselves as a metalworking business, supported by continuous investments.
In 1991, the production hall with its indoor crane was built. In 2000, we extended our building to include a measuring room for mechanical production. Our fleet of machinery also grew larger and larger. We are especially proud of our latest investment: a large-scale photovoltaic system.
