Company history:
1853, Friedrich Peyer im Hof, Heinrich Moser and Conrad Neher opened a factory to produce wagons in Neuhausen, near the Rhine Waterfall in Switzerland. At that time, they didn't know that their company would eventually become a world-famous light weapons manufacturing company.
Seven years later, they built a large production workshop to make more complicated trucks and train carriages. At this time, the three ambitious partners began a bigger adventure. According to the requirements of the Swiss Federal Ministry of Defence, the Swiss carriage factory began to join the competition to develop new rifles, hoping that the Swiss army would adopt them.
Four years later, the Prelaz-Burnand rifle produced by Swiss carriage factory was ordered in Switzerland. So far, the Swiss carriage factory has received an order to produce 30,000 pre-laz-Burnand rifles, so they changed the company name to Schweizer Ische Industrial e-Gesellschaft, which is now SIG.
