As a German manufacturer brand, SKS-Germany can look back on a long history of “Made in Germany” products. In 1921, Karl Scheffer-Klute founded the company in Sundern, Germany (SKS= Scheffer-Klute Sundern). The beginning of the pump production dates back to the year 1932. The key break-through was marked by the first manufacturing of plastic pumps in 1956. From then on mass production for the OEM market dominated the product range untill the 90's. In peak years, up to 50,000 pumps were delivered per day. Today, high-quality hand & track pumps dominate the pump portfolio. By taking over the traditional British brand Bluemels in 1983, the entrance into the mudguard segment was made. In 1988 large scale production of extruded mudguards began. Later on, after taking over the ESGE-production, those became a worldwide reference for full coverage mudguards known as Chromoplastics. With the development of the first quick-release mudguard-set for mountain bikes (Shockboard and X-Tra Dry) in 1999, SKS became also pioneer and market leader in this fast growing after sales segment for accessories.
