CLAAS/KLINCKE-wire factories
CLAAS and KLINCKE stand for centuries of wire making tradition* in Altena. This tradition has been continued by the Falz family since 1989. They first acquired the company Max W. Claas GmbH & Co. KG, and then, six years later, Hermann Klincke J. H. Sohn GmbH & Co. KG. Today, CLAAS/KLINCKE Drahtwerke are two independent companies that are at the cutting edge of technology and ecology.
