SKS = Scheffer-Klute (from) Sundern
|
Taken from http://www.sks-germany.com/en/company/history/ :
"The history of our company began in 1921 when, Karl Scheffer-Klute, from
the village of Sundern Germany began manufacturing curtain rods. The
company was later taken over by his son-in-law, Wilhelm Blome who
acquired a bicycle tyre inflator company in the same village in 1932 and
began manufacturing metal pumps. The first model was very successful
and Wilhelm quickly began mass production at the restored production
site in the Hubertushalle, where the SKS Communication Centre »ORANGE
WORLD« is located today. The decisive breakthrough came in the 1950’s
when the manufacture of bicycle tyre inflators made of plastic was
implemented. In 1959, his son, Wilhelm Blome Jr., joined the family
business. The stage was set for further growth in 1983 with beginning
production of mudguards. By the 1990’s, SKS was delivering original
bicycle parts to 90 countries worldwide as the market leader, and even
today, SKS is one of the leading manufacturers of quality accessories
for the international competitive cycling segment. Willo Blome, fourth
generation of the family, and his business partner Michael Beste have
made their mark as CEOs of the company."
