Frenzelit – a company with a successful past and a bright future

Nearly 150 years in the business

Many companies were founded during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. But very few of them have persisted through the financially turbulent times into the 21st century. Frenzelit has operated as an independent, family-owned company all these years. Its successful past is the key to shaping a bright future.
