The puteus GmbH was founded in 1979 by the father of the current shareholders as a craft business in well construction in Meerbusch Lank-Latum. The first equipment and goods were stored in the private garage and the former sheep barn. However, it soon became apparent that, in addition to the construction of percussion wells, there was a great demand for accessories for this sector.
Over time, this trade sector was expanded more and more. After the death of the father in 1988, the sons, who were still at university or compulsory schooling at the time, took over the business and began to expand it as a pure trading company with great commitment and dedication. A first move to Krefeld Stratum provided better and more extensive storage facilities.
