1935-1949
When Franz Dolezych founded the company in Dortmund in 1935, he was just 22 years old - a very young, but also very engaging and, above all, enterprising man. With the production and manufacture of “wire ropes for every purpose and wire rope slings of all kinds”, he won customers in Dortmund and the entire Ruhr region. In 1939, the war interrupted all activities and released Franz Dolezych from his shackles late: he only returned from Russian captivity in 1949 to find Dortmund largely destroyed.
