WMF is the abbreviation for Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, which means Württemberg Metal Factory and was created in 1880 in the small town of Geislingen on the river Steige (Geislingen an der Steige), after the succesful merger of two smaller silver plate foundries. This company is still active.
The early days: the Geislingen metal goods factory
In July 1854, a small business from the town of Geislingen exhibited its metal goods for the first time at a Munich industrial expo. As one local newspaper glowingly put it, the company displayed “an assortment of beautiful silver-plated wares”. The Straub & Schweizer metal goods factory had started its production activities in 1853, and within a generation it grew from a modest business employing just 16 workers to an internationally recognised company.
Today, WMF (which stands for “Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik”) is a global brand.
