Lauterjung & Sohn

The Lauterjung & Sohn, Puma-Werk Waffen-und Messer Fabrik / Stahlwarenfabrik company has its beginning stretched back to 1769, with Nathanael Lauterjung's great grandfather. In 1855, Nathanael established a cutlery and knife making workshop in Solingen. After he died in 1876, the business was formally known as "Firma Wwe Nath. Lauterjung." On May 26, 1900, the "Puma-Werk" name was registered with the Solingen authorities. By 1906, Puma was distributing its products all around Europe. From 1920 to 1992, the company was located on Kanalstraße 9 in Solingen. Early on Puma manufactured: razors, hair cutters, pocket and hunting knives. Trade directories reveal the owners were Ernst Otto Lauterjung in 1914, and widow Emilie Lauterjung in 1939. During the Third Reich era, Puma-Werk was a large manufacturer of edged weapons. It supplied a vast array of daggers, knives and swords for the Wehrmacht and NSDAP. Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Oswald von Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf (1915-1986) joined the Puma-Werk company. In 1953, the company concentrated its efforts on specializing in high-quality: hunting, fishing and outdoor knives. In 1979, a serious fire in Kanalstraße destroyed some stock and a part of its historic archives, but the factory was soon-after rebuilt. The Hindrichs family (purchasers of Hugo Köller two years earlier) acquired Puma-Werk on November 1, 1991. In 1995, Puma moved into Hugo Köller's factory on Grünewalder Straße 28, allowing the Kanalstraße premises to be demolished. In 1998, Puma-Werk and Köller's Stahlwarenfabrik companies were moved to An den Eichen 20-22, the premises of "Cuno Melcher" (part of the same Hindrichs family group). In 2019, the company celebrated 250 years of knife making in Solingen. Puma-Werk continues to offer handmade pocket and hunting knives around the world.
