When son Ernst Frankenbach was born in 1902, he followed in his father’s footsteps.
1936
Like many other dreams of the future, the war also destroyed those of the Frankenbach family. The state confiscated the trucks of the time and made the haulage contractor a soldier.
1945
Back from the war, Ernst Frankenbach dared to make a new start in 1945. A country had to be rebuilt and there was a lot to do.
With the purchase of silo vehicles, a new mainstay of the company was created just 10 years later.
1960
As early as 1960, the first 16 vehicles in the name of the company “Ernst Frankenbach” rolled on the roads.
1970
In 1970, the sons Ernst and Christian Frankenbach joined the company as limited partners and thanks to the energy of the brothers and their wives, the company expanded rapidly.
In the mid-1970s, the company began the container business and laid the foundation for the “Automobile Transports” division.
