PEFRA as a company originated in 1946, when Franz Peschler founded the “Peschler automotive factory” in Moosburg. Initially the product line consisted of small handcarts and trolleys but the company soon saw the need for flexible transport systems in the post-WWII economy. Planning and production of trailers and electrical vehicles commenced.

All necessary parts  - e.g. wheels, brakes, transmissions -  were produced locally, according to the economical zeitgeist of the era. The resolution to pursue this policy while simultaneously expanding the enterprise, alas, led to bankrupcty in 1995.

Nonetheless several employees, the attorney involved and the visionary house bank had the courage to start over again. Concentrating on core business and fewer production sites together with entrepreneurial courage and considerable investments of private capital provided excellent starting conditions for the newly founded "PEFRA Flurförderzeuge GmbH".

Fortunes started to rise rapidly since this point in 1995. 1997 the whole firm relocated to a new and larger administration and production site located at Eching/Weixerau. New employees joined the company and manufacturing processes were expedited.

As a result of its economic stability and efficient strategies PEFRA became a PLC (Public Limited Company) on August the 1st 2003.

At this time Mr. Johann Kaltenhauser joined Mr. Paul Gremmler in the board of directors.
PEFRA (PLC) was able to successfully establish and hold its current market position against the rising influx of cheap products from a globalising market

PEFRA (PLC) is confident that it will ride out the storm of rapid globalisation steadily due to its reliability, efficiency and competence.

In the meantime PEFRA has established itself in the market with a reputation for its outstanding and innovative technical solutions.
