The history of WinkhausThe 1930sUntil the start of the Second World War, Aug. Winkhaus continues to export a large share of its products abroad. To adapt production to the increase in orders, Winkhaus has to expand and puts a disused factory in Telgte back into operation. Having started with just 20 employees, it soon has a workforce of 65 and after just five years, the facility, which had started life purely as an assembly plant, becomes an independent factory. |

At the time of Rudolf Winkhaus' 80th birthday, the company employs 27 white-collar employees and 423 blue-collar employees on its sites in Münster and Telgte.
