How to recognize SHW products
Every bale spear bears the “Made in Germany” stamp with the SHW logo, the crown, and the date of manufacture.
It is not an original SHW bale spear without these stamps.
Our history
Our company can look back on a centuries-old history that dates back to the 13th century. First mentioned in 1267, precious metals and later iron ore were mined in the Forbach valley.
In 1600, the first hammer mill was established. Duke Friedrich promoted the processing of ore and the production of agricultural equipment in such a way that the first furnace could be built in 1763. In compliment to Duke Friedrich, Friedrichstal was named after him. Until 1820, Friedrichstal was the biggest of all seven Württemberg mills, with almost 100 workers. From 1805, Friedrichstal was the only mill producing steel.
