History

According to the company's history page, Wilhelm Altendorf developed 'the first Altendorf' at the beginning of the last century, intending to construct a machine that performs a straight edging cut on a wooden plank and includes a 90-degree cut. This gave rise to the still-valid principle of the sliding table saw, 'System Altendorf'. The page describes this as the first milestone in a success story spanning more than eleven decades, and states that the company grew from a small machine-building operation into a world market leader in the premium segment. It also states that more than 300,000 sliding table saws have been sold worldwide, and that 1906 in Berlin marks the company founding. The official website additionally references a 120-year Altendorf anniversary and the bringing together of brand, company and manufacturing.
