On 6 February 1919, Theodor Valentin Jopp, a manufacturer from [[Zella-Mehlis]] in [[Thuringia]], bought a [[monastery]] mill "house with attached turbine facility with generators" in Bad Neustadt. He founded a company there and named it Jopp. |
||
⚫ | In the beginning, Jopp Group produced [[bicycle parts]] By 1920, Jopp was manufacturing [[sowing]] machines, [[Harrow (tool)|harrows]], ploughs, food cutting machines and bicycles. In the 1920s, Jopp started making screws and turned parts. After [[World War II]], Jopp operated for a period under foreign management. After the Second World War, the company was temporarily foreign-managed. In the 1950s, Jopp started producing components for the automotive industry and its suppliers. |
