1961: Müllheim production site

In 1961, Hans Denzler and Albert Wildfang, together with the latter's son Dieter, set up "Dieter Wildfang KG" in Müllheim, Germany – trading nowadays as Neoperl GmbH. Soon afterwards, they start production of faucet aerators in their own factory and expand their business to industrial customers.

From the very beginning, Neoperl has relied on a concept that is forward-thinking to this day: a low vertical range of manufacture. This means that the company procures the required individual parts from specialized partners and assembles them into finished products. Neoperl can therefore concentrate on the development and marketing of its products.
