Maschinenfabrik Esslingen

Maschinenfabrik Esslingen was founded in 1846 by Emil Kessler in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany. The works became known for steam locomotives, trams, railway wagons, bridges and steel structures, and also built electric and diesel tow tractors and other industrial material-handling vehicles. In 1965 the company was taken over by Daimler-Benz, and its industrial truck business was later merged into STILL.
