Founded in 1864 by Josef Werndl as an arms factory and sawmill, it became the Österreichische Waffenfabrik ÖWG in 1869. With over 15,000 employees, ÖWG was the largest arms manufacturer in Europe. In 1626, the company became Steyr-Werke AG. The period between the two world wars was marked by several renamings and expansions, and after the Second World War, a large conglomerate was formed, which, in addition to weapons, also produced trucks, tractors, gearboxes, roller bearings, engines and the Pandur wheeled tank, until the various divisions were outsourced or sold. Some of the inventions and developments have had a lasting influence on weapons technology, including the tabernacle breech, the Mannlicher M1895 multi-loading rifle, a self-loading pistol and, of course, the world-famous Mannlicher Schoenauer hunting rifle. But also more modern systems like the SSG69, the AUG or the Monobloc continued the success story of Steyr Mannlicher until today.
