Our History

We from the the Gugg company have made it our mission for 9 generations now, to pour in metal a true and genuine image of the model crated by the artist. In a continuation of tradition, expertise and lots of craftsmanship, today capable metal casters, master molders as well as mechanical enineers provide the implementation, preservation and dissemination of this knowledge. We also do a lot for young talent. The house Gugg takes this task very seriously and our success speaks for itself, because the apprenticeship has already brought forth a national winner in the metal caster and molder's craft. |
