Although we often still find it hard to believe ourselves, the beginnings of the KRÜSS enterprise go back more than two centuries. Even then, A.KRÜSS Optronic was one of the so-called “early movers”, and tradition dictates that we continue to use the dynamics of a rapidly changing world. What remains constant? Today, as then, all the equipment we produce ensures only the highest quality. As we are often asked about our history, we have decided to reissue the fascinating company chronicle written by Andres Krüss. In addition to the German original, with its many interesting images of historical devices, an English version is also now available for the first time.
