Our history

From horse-drawn coaches to anchors for harbour structures.

Four turning points in just over a hundred years — each built on what Balve already knew how to make.

  1. First world war

    Founded

    Anton Schmoll founds the company, producing coaches and contract work for nearby companies.

  2. 1930s

    Bolts and screws

    The focus shifts to the production of bolts and screws.

  3. 1980s

    Larger dimensions

    A producer of DIN and special bolts, above all T-head anchors and double threaded studs with thread diameters up to 150 mm. Sheltered production area grows to 8,000 m².

  4. 1990s

    Water and port engineering

    Large connection elements become round steel anchors — eye anchors, couplers, turnbuckles — alongside welded structures such as walings, dolphins and stairs. A second plant opens as a welding workshop.

  5. Today

    Geotechnics

    More than 25,000 m² of production and storage, unit weights up to 32 t. The most recent addition is the grouted anchor pile for sheet pile wall anchoring.

ASF-Anker - Anton Schmoll GmbH was founded during the first world war by Mr. Anton Schmoll. During these times it was used for the production of coaches and contract work for nearby companies.

In the 1930s the focus of ASF-Anker changed to production of bolts and screws. During the 1980s ASF-Anker became a producer of DIN- and abnormal bolts, especially T-Head anchors and double threaded studs , of even bigger measurements (threads diameters up to 150mm). The sheltered production area was extended to 8000 m².   

 

Around the beginning of the 1990s ASF-Anker extended its portfolio again. Based on the production of big connection elements ASF-Anker became a producer of round steel connectors for water and port engineering. Besides the round steel anchoring (eye anchor, extensions, couplers, turnbuckles, etc.), additional welding constructions (walings, gangways, dolphins, stairs, bollards, etc.) were produced and the corresponding additions (bollards, sheet pile wall cappings, etc.) were added in our portfolio. To achieve this additional production area was created at our headquarter and following this a second plant with a welding workshop. Meanwhile more than 25.000 m² production and storage area are standing by where we can handle single weights up to 32t.

 

Currently ASF-Anker enhances its production again in the range of geotechnics and here in particular the innovative sheet pile connection element injection pile.
