HISTORICAL REMARKS: ************************************************************************** In 1896 TRIUMPH CYCLE CO. from Coventry / GB founded a bicycle factory DEUTSCHE TRIUMPH FAHRRADWERKE in Nuernberg. In 1907 a typewriter was produced: »NORICA«. In 1910 it was re-designed and became as »TRIUMPH« one of the best known typewriters in Germany. After WWII Max GRUNDIG was share holder of TRIUMPH and bought ADLER WERKE, an other typewriter manufacturer, and combined the two companies to form TRIUMPH-ADLER. This company produced office machines only. The »TIPPA« won a »Gold Medal« in Milan in 1960 and was classified as the best flat portable of the time. In 1968 the TRIUMPH-ADLER was bought from LITTON / USA (the LITTON logo is also on the TIPPA typewriter). In 1979 LITTON sold the company back to VOLKSWAGEN, Germany. Since 1994 TRIUMPH-ADLER is share-holded by banks and is dealing in all facets of "Document Business". impressum: ************************************************************************** © C.HAMANN http://public.BHT-Berlin.de/hamann 10/21/08 |
