The traditional business can look back on a 180-year history, and was the first company in Germany to make chilled cast iron rollers.

It is similar to a calender except that alternate chilled cast iron and softer rolls are used.

Malcolm Locke created a moldboard of chilled cast iron that scours best with the least friction.

Modern calenders have "hard" heated rollers made from chilled cast iron or steel, and "soft" rollers coated with polymeric composites.

Brass fittings were supplied by Scott Brothers of Christchurch, and the only imported parts were the chilled cast iron wheels.
