About Hugo Schmeisser

Hugo Schmeisser was a German developer of 20th century infantry weapons. Together with his brother Hans Schmeisser, he created the "Industriewerk Auhammer Koch und Co" (Industrial Auhammer Koch and Company) in Suhl. For the safety of his patents, Schmeisser created a second company under the name of "Brothers Schmeisser" in the summer of 1922. Schmeisser's attorneys who settled the deal became active shareholders in the company.
