Doppelmayr Garaventa

The company Doppelmayr was founded in Austrian Wolfurt in 1892 and was originally called Konrad Doppelmayr & Sohn. In 1967, the director of the company was Arthur Doppelmayr, the grandson of the founder of the company - Konrad Doppelmayr - and the son of the Austrian businessman Emil Doppelmayr. Since holidays in the Alps were gaining popularity all over the world at that time, during the second half of the 20th century, Arthur managed to bring his cable car manufacturer to world leaders. In 1996, the holding company Doppelmayr acquired Von Roll, a Swiss manufacturer of gondolas and cable cars; in 2002, she also managed to acquire another Swiss company - CWA - specializing in the same field. The merger of Doppelmayr and Garaventa was publicly announced in 2001 - the merger was completed in 2002. In April 2011, the company was selected as one of the contractors for the construction of the London cable system ^{[3] [4]} .
