Money was scarce in the 1950s. But one young man, Albin G\u00f6pfert, had set himself a high target: his machines should be used to process corrugated board efficiently for the first time. Albin G\u00f6pfert had to be careful when investing in his new company. He decided on a particularly inexpensive lathe.<\/p>\n
However, this inexpensive lathe wasn\u2019t all it was made out to be. Albin G\u00f6pfert lost two things: money and the possibility of being able to carry out lathe work. The necessary repairs to the machine were expensive. With the additional costs he could have bought a better lathe at the beginning. In spite of this, he profited from the experience, as he realised the value of quality<\/strong> at this early stage.<\/p>\nAlbin G\u00f6pfert\u2019s target became a vision: a vision of designing machines which could do more than what was expected of them. Machines which lasted longer and were more economic to run. This conviction has been realised in every G\u00f6pfert machine. Today, almost 70 years later, we would call this being conscious of the value of optimum quality:<\/p>\n
