1936: Ludwig Heck and Jakob Becker found the
“Modellfabrik Dautphe” (Dautphe pattern factory).

for the regional stove and cooker
industry as well as the pattern and
machine factories at Wallau.
1940: The firm’s name is
changed into “Modellfabrik
Heck+Becker KG”
(pattern factory).

creases enormously. The
range of products made by

tended by die-casting and
injection-moulding tools for
light-metal and plastic products.
1955: 45 employees are in
the service of the constantly
growing enterprise.
