Gummiwerk KRAIBURG Austria Ges.m.b.H. & Co. 在奥地利 Geretsberg 开始投产。由于当地地理位置接近且市场机会良好，在奥地利建立独立生产基地成为理想选择，因为当时高额关税壁垒使向奥地利出口变得不可行。
1964 年 8 月，位于奥地利 Geretsberg、距离 Waldkraiburg 57 公里的 “Sängergut” 庄园通过拍卖购得，并被改建为橡胶工厂，即 Gummiwerk KRAIBURG 的奥地利工厂。
Gummiwerk KRAIBURG 的历史始于 1947 年 10 月 22 日。那一年，Friedrich Schmidt senior 在 Kraiburg–Hart 开始生产橡胶混炼胶。当时资源十分有限，经营条件也非常艰难。
尽管 Gummiwerk KRAIBURG 的起步相当朴素，但这为 KRAIBURG 集团未来的成功奠定了坚实基础。凭借创始人之子 Peter 和 Fritz A. Schmidt 坚持不懈的努力与投入，公司销售额和产量逐年增长。

Production begins at Gummiwerk KRAIBURG Austria Ges.m.b.H. & Co. in Geretsberg, Austria. The geographical proximity and the good market opportunities there were ideal for establishing a separate production site in Austria, since the “high customs wall” made exports to Austria unfeasible. In August 1964 the “Sängergut” estate in Geretsberg, Austria, 57 km from Waldkraiburg, was bought at auction and converted into a rubber factory: Gummiwerk KRAIBURG’s Austria.
