The engraving establishment was set up by Friedrich Rood in Solingen, making stamps and engravings for the local industry producing cutting implements. His clientele included major companies all over Germany. Later he exported his hand-engraved steel stamps to numerous countries throughout the world. |

After his father's
death his son Fritz succeeded to the business. Following an engraver's training
by his father he had passed the examination for his craftman's certificate. After the war he managed to get into touch with his previous customers in Europe, the United States and in South America. |

Having bought and taken
over the engraving establishment the present owner renamed it as follows:
"Günter Ehlers Graviertechniken". The company was restructured,
and a modern office incl. state of the art communication media was added.
Handicraft was replaced by engraving machines. Production was speeded up
and made more profitable by using milling and grinding machines. Being a
young master engraver he could put the knowledge he had acquired as master
and department head at various engraving establishments into practice. He
spearheaded the introduction of the new 3D CNC engraving technology. Due
to the growing number of orders extra workers were taken on. |

There was a chance of taking over an engraving establishment in Lüdenscheid. After three years Messrs. W. Ischebeck was perfectly integrated into the Solingen company. |
| 1993 | |
The acquisition of Messrs. Brinkmann GmbH at Goldstraße in Solingen-Ohligs where the company is still domiciled stands as another landmark. |

The company's clientele
comprises approx. 300 companies ranging from small firms to large-scale
enterprises (cutting implements, metal and plastic goods, engineering industry,
forge shops and motor industry suppliers). The special marking line ranges from standard or top-quality figure stamps to custom-designed stamping presses. |
