Company Chronicle from 1911 until Today
In 2011 the company NOCH celebrated its 100th birthday. It is surely not self-evident that a company may celebrate its 100th birthday.

The company was found 1911 as a plumbers workshop in Saxon. During the 100 years the company got through two World Wars and the flight from the nationalization in the GDR. For 75 years NOCH has dealt with model railway accessories. At the beginning it distributed model railway accessories at the side, later an own manufactory was established that developed step by step into the current company. For 50 years we have been located in Wangen im Allgäu, a region in South Germany. NOCH is owner-managed in the 4th generation engaging over 80 employees today.

In the 100 years old company history there are many technical improvements and innovations that revolutionized the model landscaping hobby such as the preformed landscape layouts in 1961, the first electrostatically flocked grass mat in 1963, the super realistic hard foam portals from 1983 on and the Gras-Master that has guaranteed perfect grass application for everybody since 2005. Even in the jubilee year we ventured again on the field of modern technique and innovative production methods: The new Laser-Cut+ Building Kits are a milestone in the production of modern model buildings.

Here we thank all faithful business friends and customers who made it possible for NOCH to celebrate the 100th birthday.

We wish you a lot of fun with model landscaping.

Your NOCH Team
