The history of the PUMA work began in 1769 when Johann Wilhelm Lauterjung had his trademark registered in the Messermacherrolle. But the tradition of the manufacturer goes even further. In a time when numerous grinding centers, the so-called Kotten, stood along the Wupper. On natural sand, driven by hydroelectric power, blades were cut here.

As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century there were exactly 93 grinding cattle and six hammer forges on the banks of the Wupper. It was the invention of the steam engine that triggered the turn in blade processing. It was no longer dependent on water power.
