Kraus & Naimer

Kraus & Naimer was founded in 1907, the first workshop being set up in the basement of the building in Wattgasse 53, Vienna. Electricity had just started to conquer the world, but switchgear as we know it today did not yet exist. Lorenz Naimer, the founder and financier, and his partner Franz Kraus, enthusiastically launched the experiment to manufacture special electrical devices.
