1712. Mosdorfer was first mentioned as a bladesmith in Weiz. At that time, a large part of the annual production of sabres and blades was already being exported abroad. The era of the Knill family began with the marriage of Friedrich Knill and the second daughter of Moritz Mosdorfer in 1929. Friedrich Knill led the company to a decisive milestone in its history. He received the first order for overhead line fittings as part of the construction of the 220 kV Kaprun-Ernsthofen line in 1949.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-li-large-font-size\">In 1974, his son Gunther Knill takes over the management of Mosdorfer GmbH. He builds the individual company into an internationally significant group of companies. In 2002, Gunther Knill hands over to his sons Christian and Georg. Today, their aim is to secure the company&#8217;s long-term future and strategically develop the group of companies by continuously striving for market leadership and growth in promising sectors.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"trnc-img-text-block full relative my-8 xl:my-20 h-full flex items-center\">\n    <div class=\"mx-auto p-0 justify-start w-full\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row lg:flex-row-reverse items-center gap-8\">\n            <div class=\"w-full lg:w-1\/2\">\n                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"single-image w-full h-auto object-cover min-h-[300px] lg:min-h-[400px] xl:min-h-[600px]\" alt=\"Display case with old sickles that Mosdorfer used to produce\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L3C9994.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                                                <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"lg:absolute bg-light md:bg-transparent lg:top-1\/2 lg:-translate-y-1\/2 base-grid mx-auto left-0 right-0\">\n            <div class=\"flex justify-start\">\n                <div class=\"w-full lg:w-2\/3 bg-light py-6 md:px-10 md:py-10 relative\">\n                                               <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knillgruppe.com\/wp-content\/themes\/knillgruppe-v4\/img\/flagIcon.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"w-8 h-auto absolute left-0 md:left-8 top-[-1.5rem]\">\n                                            \n                                            <h2 class=\"!font-bold text-blue mb-4\">\n                        Experience history                    <\/h2>\n                    \n                                        <div class=\"textblock\"><p>In our in-house company museum, we bring over 300 years of company history to life.
