It all began in 1677. The master copersmith Christian Schulz started his own business in Bamberg, supplying brewpubs with “finely forged and hammered copper kettles as a guarantee for quality beer.” During the next 300 years, Christian Schulz’s humble coppersmith business would develop into a successful enterprise in the brewing technology field. Schulz has become a trusted resource in brewing technology and a peerless consultant for a wide-reaching customer base both domestically and abroad. We stand by our principles of expertise and consistency in the industry.
