July 2000: Foundation of the APF-Lupa company
After 20 years of learning and gaining in-depth expertise and skills in the field of technical spring production, Harald Lupa entered the venture of self-employment in order to successfully market his own innovative skills.

April 2001: Moving to Tennenbronn
Having started our production in a private basement, the newly founded company was able to move into a small business location in the town of Tennenbronn.

May 2002: Extension of our production site
Just one year after having rented production space in Tennenbronn, we had to provide additional space due to immense orders and the exceptional personal commitment of all our staff.

August 2005: Beginning of construction
Only three years after an extension of our business space, again we faced new problems hitting space limits due to significant increase in orders in conjunction withe the investment in new production machines. Therefore, it was decided to create a new customised production site in a business park of the town of Hardt near Schramberg.

April 2006: Opening of our new production site
In April of 2006, after a construction period of only eight months, we were finally able to move into our new production site. It encompasses about 350m² of production- and office-space.
