Feinwerkbau was founded after the Second World War by senior engineers Karl Westinger and Ernst Altenburger.Until 1960, the production and delivery of precision parts for well-known companies was the main source of income for the young company.In addition, an electromechanical calculating machine was developed, which was considered state-of-the-art at the time and was manufactured in large quantities by the Olympia factory in Wilhelmshaven. Until 1975, all Olympia calculators were developed in Oberndorf until they were ready for series production.
After the re-establishment of the German Shooting Association, the two founders of the company, both experienced gunmakers, developed the first competition air rifle with side cocking, a fixed sight line and a patented recoil system for a vibration-free shot.This air rifle was sold for the first time in 1961 and within a very short time almost all existing records were broken.Due to the increasing precision of sporting rifles, the targets for sport shooting were reduced in size, but the highest results were still achieved with Feinwerkbau air rifles.The same happened with Feinwerkbau air pistols from 1965.
The great demand for Feinwerkbau sporting rifles made it possible to expand the company, to optimize production and, above all, to further develop high-precision sporting rifles.In line with contemporary developments, the spring-operated air rifles were followed by CO2 rifles and pistols, as well as sporting rifles with pre-compressed air and today with compressed air.The AW93 sporting pistol with recoil absorption and a range of small caliber rifles complete the Feinwerkbau range of sporting weapons.
To this day, the name Feinwerkbau is inextricably linked with countless successes in sport shooting and stands for innovation, precision, quality and passion in shooting sports.In addition to sporting guns, Feinwerkbau still manufactures high-precision parts, small series and assemblies for well-known companies in many different industries.
The management and employees are highly motivated and work every day with passion and extreme care to produce precise, high quality products.
Feinwerkbau produces exclusively at its location in Oberndorf and therefore offers quality products that rightly bear the "Made in Germany" seal of quality!
Feinwerkbau currently employs about 115 people.
