Urgos

Urgos was located in the town of Villingen-Schweningen in West Germany until about 1990 when it was purchased by Walter Steinbach and moved to Donaueschingen with his other factories.

It was purchased by Franz Hermle & sohn Dec 31, 1999 and moved to Amherst VA (their facility in the USA).

Unfortunately most of the technical and historical data on the company was destroyed in the first move.
