History
Foundation of Friedrich Wilhelm Daum Machine Factory in the industrial affected city of Remscheid. DAUM was focussing on the production of household aids, garden tools and the trading of general tools.
Extension of the production. Adding hammer mill goods, telegraph parts and products for mining to the product range. During the era of industrialization the production of railway parts became more and more important. Many railroads were built up because the railway evolved into mass transportion. DAUM gets its first important orders from the Royal Prussian Railway.
DAUM becomes 'specialists factory for railway parts'.

Extension and building of new production halls. With the beginning of the replacement program for mechanical signal towers by electrical signal towers, DAUM has an important influence to the development of the new systems.
