Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention.

The founder of the company, Mr. Adalbert Wendt, is a skilled toolmaker and ran a pipe construction company until 1983.

He particularly liked fast motorcycles at that time. This hobby led to the formation of a racing team in
1983, FA RAU Motorradtechnik.
This team was responsible for the development of motorcycles which started internationally in the Superbike class.

Motorcycles were developed and built for famous German racing drivers, among others for Toni Mang. Those racers were also licensed for road traffic in a modified version and RAU became a brand name among motorcycle friends.

In 1986 the company quarters and workshops had to be relocated. During this move a locksmith was called to open a door at the new business premises. The door had to be opened by force and the result of a destroyed door led the fiddler and crafter Adalbert Wendt to think about a better solution. All enquiries to other locksmiths showed that professionally manufactured and thought out opening tools were not available in Europe or were only designed for the American Market.

In autumn 1986 the first opening tool was already patented. This tool, which is known under the name ZIEH-FIX®, equally caused excitement and was a sensation. This tool laid the foundation of the company A.Wendt Sicherheits und Aufsperrtechnik GmbH.

Meanwhile Adalbert Wendt is owner of numerous patents and registered designs.
