50 years of Wikus - a success story
The company WIKUS-Sägenfabrik was founded by Wilhelm Hubert Kullmann on 01 October 1958, a few weeks before his 30th birthday. Amidst the growing German economy, the brothers Wilhelm and Josef Kullmann, Mr. Bätzing and an apprentice started the manufacturing of band saw blades. The “company premise” was, at first, a horse stable in Spangenberg, the so-called “Bethlehem’s stable” (picture above) which had been provided by an uncle free of charge.
