Founded in 1947 by engineer Gerhard Müller, who is credited[by whom?] with the invention of the modern detachable chairlift in the late 1940s, it was one of the most prolific and respected aerial lift manufacturers in skiing history. The company was bought out by the management in 1985 after Müller's death and went out of business in 1992.[citation needed]
