2000
A new, ultra-modern tunnel kiln is built and starts production, requiring even less "manual labour". A multi-colour screen printing line is in operation and, together with the new baking oven, forms a fully automatic, high-performance production unit.
1995
Our screen printing production is expanded to include C+C technology and is now state of the art. The screen printing production is therefore automated for the most part.
1994
Foundation of IMS - a joint venture with a Polish company in connection with a large glassworks
1993
Due to the great demand an extension of our production areas is unavoidable. At the same time there is a structural separation of warehouse and shipping area.
1985
Our company expands its field of business. Up to now, 90 percent of our customers were breweries from the Rhineland (Kölsch and Altbier market). Now, the product range is being significantly expanded and, in parallel, the advertising industry is being served.
1982
Our new and large warehouse is built.
1978
The year of change in our company: the founder and business owner Willi Schlepütz passes away. His son Hartmut Schlepütz takes his place. In the own workshop all stencils for direct screen printing are produced since 1978 until today.
1964
Our new and large warehouse is built.
1964
A tunnel kiln is purchased, with the help of which and heat the decorations on the glasses are made durable.
1963
Semi-automatic screen printing machines on the market, which are immediately used for Mohaba glass. While decals still have to be placed on the base material in a time-consuming manual labor, semi-automatic screen printing is considerably faster in comparison.
1961
The first screen printing machines are used in our Düren plant.
1957
Industrial decal printing is introduced into the production of Mohaba glass, and the decoration of the glasses is done in this way.
1954
Foundation of Mohaba-Glas GmbH & Co. KG (Mohaba: "Montage-Haus-Bau" (assembly house construction)). Our company begins in post-war Germany with the manufacture of prefabricated building components from construction and war debris under the name "Montage-Haus-Bau", but in 1954 turns to stained glass, which is established as a craft. The catchy abbreviation of the company name is retained and the word "glass" is simply added. The decoration is pure handwork, because the raw glasses are punched and the surfaces are painted by hand.Director and driving force is Willi Schlepütz, who takes over the company in 1961.
