In 1948, the grandfather of the current owner, Adolf Gaukel, founded a smithy for construction materials in Esslingen, in which his son, Alfred Gaukel, has been engaged since 1960.

The “Robusta” trademark was registered in 1965 with the company celebrating its 50th anniversary just recently, although its beginnings in fact go back much further.
