Our company history
Company founder Rudi Triebel, born in Suhl, learned the gunsmith's trade in the traditional way. His master was Edgar Hübner, whom he admired greatly. As a journeyman's piece, Rudi Triebel built an Anson double-barrelled shotgun.
He successfully passed his master craftsman's examination in 1942. After World War II, which he survived well except for a few wounds, he worked in the weapons workshop of his father Robert Triebel, who had been running a specialist shop for weapons, ammunition and fishing tackle in Kaufbeuren, "Am Breiten Bach", since 1935.
Later, he set up his own workroom at 73 Kemptener Str. in Kaufbeuren. There he was able to set up the first machines and, with the help of an employee, an acquaintance from his military days, produce parts for weapons, telescopic sight assemblies and the first tools for cartridge bearings himself.The business was registered in 1948.
In addition to his work, Rudi Triebel was also active for the guild and for many years held the office of apprentice warden and guild master.
Numerous ballistics courses for the apprentices and the graduates of the master course earned him the reputation of an outstanding expert, who was also held in high esteem abroad.
Through the publication of the "Dimension Sheets for Cartridge and Cartridge Bearings", which came into being partly as a result of his work in the Proof Council, the name Triebel took on a new meaning. Whenever questions arose regarding the dimensions of cartridge bearings, it was said: ask Triebel.
After a short, serious illness, Rudi Triebel died in Kaufbeuren on 30 May 1984. Shortly after passing the examination for the master craftsman's diploma (at that time as the best Bavarian examinee), Jürgen Triebel, the current managing director, took over the technical management of the Triebel company.
With the funds available at the time, a new universal tool grinding machine was purchased, which opened up new possibilities in production.
With the soon obligatory exhibitions at the largest trade fair for weapons and accessories, the IWA in Nuremberg, contacts were quickly made throughout the industry. Ongoing investments in all areas of the company, the expansion of exports, as well as the long overdue expansion in 2004 with the move to the current company building in Stöttwang and the introduction of a customised, ISO certified quality management system have made the company Triebel Waffenwerkzeuge GmbH what it is today:
A modern, quality-conscious and customer-oriented company with an excellent reputation, also beyond the European borders.
