Biography
[edit]
Freissler was born on 13 March 1838 in Kujavy in northern Moravia, which was a part of the Austrian Empire. Freissler developed paternosters and other elevators, which were sold very successfully throughout the empire and abroad. One of the oldest paternosters, installed in 1911, is still in use in the House of Industry in Vienna.
Freissler was also issued an imperial warrant as a Purveyor to the Imperial and Royal Court.
The company existed until the 1970s until it was incorporated into Otis Austria.
