BOLLMANN M.

Wien

gegründet   1861

The first Grover & Baker sewing machine factory in Austria was built by Louis Bollmann in the 1850s.

Bollmann, the first sewing machine factory in Vienna, which produced in the 60s sewing machines after Singer, Wheeler & Wilson, Howe and Grover & Baker System.

1873

The Austrian sewing machine manufacturers, especially those in Vienna, were fairly richly represented at the exhibition, some of whom had still exhibited Grover & Bake machines, such as August Rast and Popp & Sosna, which provided their "Wheeler & Wilson-Machine" with a device for producing the Grover & Baker stitch.

Steiner in Graz exhibited Wheeler & Wilson machines for the manufacture of finest goods and J. Anger, L. Bollmann & Co. and Reichel & Co., all in Vienna, also exhibited shuttle machines without any particularly worthy remark.
