The headquarters of Praher is located inBohemiaquiet and contemplativeSchwertbergvillage, situated on the plain between the Danube River andBohemiathe plains between the hills. In 1971, Ludwig Praher (Ludwig Praher) founded the company here as a manufacturer of technical plastics and plastic injection molds. Today, Praher produces high-quality valves and fittings for industrial piping systems and the swimming pool industry, and realizes custom functional parts and components on fully automatic injection molding machines. The in-house research and development department of Praher works closely with universities and research institutions. New ideas are first implemented in the company's core: the mold manufacturing department, which increasingly adopts three-dimensional printing technology. The centralized procurement system of Praher ensures a continuous supply of high-quality raw materials. The fully automatic robotic systems developed by Praher explore new avenues for producing high-quality plastic valves. The company is now jointly managed by the second generation, Winfried Praher and Rainer Pühringer.
