In 1879 production of cork bottle stoppers started on self-designed, patented cork cutting machines, which were also added to the range of products for sale. The performance and cutting capability, as well as the dimensional accuracy, of these machines had a revolutionary influence on the cork processing industry — they increased the average daily production by 500 %. In 1894 the company came out with another invention that left the competitors behind. Now extremely thin paper (20 my) can be cut from cork rind in unsurpassed quality. Purchasers are found in the cigarette industry. Exports go out to Europe and overseas. In 1927/28 additional patents on advanced developments for Meyer's cork cutting machines, as well as a process to improve cork bottle and barrel stoppers, secured the company's competitiveness in the looming Great Depression. In 1958 production was thoroughly restructured. Now modern, automated punching machines produce sealing inserts for aluminum and plastic closures exclusively. In 1974-76 the plant was modernized in two stages and the production and storage space expanded to 5000 sqm. In 1979 the company celebrated its centenary. Eighty employees and machinery consisting of sixty automatic punching machines ensured it a dominant position in the market. In 1984 the first production line for making foamed PE went into operation. In 1994 a department dedicated exclusively to the production of tape goods was established as a response to high market potential. In 1995 the installation of a third production line doubled the former extrusion capacity In 1999 a branch concentrating exclusively on producing tape goods, which have become an important segment within the product range and continue to promise strong growth, was established in a nearby industrial park.
