HISTORY OF THE GROUP OF COMPANIES

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL HISTORY SINCE 1906

Increasing electrification at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, especially in the field of electrical lighting technology, paved the way for new industry sectors.

Two Franconian entrepreneurs, Siegfried Guggenheimer and Paul Gossen, were amongst the pioneers in the field of measuring technology at the beginning of the 20th century. With their two companies, namely Metrawatt AG and Paul Gossen GmbH, they laid the foundation for the subsequent Gossen Metrawatt GmbH in 1993.
