It was 145 years ago that Georg Michael Pfaff, an instrument maker by trade, made his first sewing machine and founded the G.M. Pfaff sewing machine factory in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Today the PFAFF sewing machine brand continues to make history as the premier sewing machine brand that sewers aspire to own.
“Georg Michael Pfaff, a talented master craftsman, developed a sewing machine and brand name that has led the sewing industry throughout its prolific history,” said Don Fletcher, CEO of SVP Worldwide, PFAFF's parent company. “As the pinnacle of German design and engineering, the PFAFF brand's 145 year sewing heritage creates a climate for continued development and design of high quality sewing and embroidery machines.
From the first PFAFF sewing machine to today's most advanced sewing and embroidery machine in the world—the PFAFF CREATIVE VISION sewing and embroidery machine, we look forward to building upon the past as we lead the sewing industry into the 21st Century.”
In 1885, Georg Michael Pfaff opened a sewing machine shop in London. The PFAFF factory was expanded and modernized. Georg Pfaff, the second son of the Founder, took over the management of the company after his father's death in 1893 and expanded it further with great success.
From 1898 onwards, the company began with the production of household, craftsmen, and light industrial machines with electric motor drives. The first special sewing machines and industrial machines were manufactured and sold in 1907-1908. In 1910 Georg Pfaff presented the one millionth PFAFF sewing machine to the History Museum of Speyer in Germany.
