160 years of Föckersperger company anniversary – Innovation since 1865
Did you know that our family business dates back to 1865? 
It all began when Johann Heinrich Müller founded a workshop for mill repairs. Over the generations, the business steadily grew, and in 1927, it was officially registered as “Konrad Müller Landmaschinen & Reparaturwerkstatt”.
A new chapter began in 1965: When Konrad Müller’s daughter Marlene married Georg Föckersperger from Lower Bavaria, they laid the foundation for our company as it exists today – with the establishment of Georg Föckersperger GmbH. Georg was a true visionary who revolutionized the industry with his innovative Pipe and Cable Plow technology – still in use and evolving to this day.
The first major milestone? On May 4, 1971, we completed our very first cable plowing project – and it was spectacular: a duct was pulled beneath the Rednitz River near Penzendorf. Since then, we have continuously developed and refined our technology. 
In 2005, Frank Föckersperger took over management and now leads the company in its 6th generation.
In 2008, we founded Föckersperger Maschinen GmbH, where our Cable Plow systems are designed, manufactured, and distributed worldwide.
With the founding of FST GmbH in 2017, we expanded from pure plowing services to offering complete turnkey solutions in utility construction. Our portfolio now includes route preparation, Pipe and Cable Plowing using our in-house systems, drum logistics, HDD drilling, and excavator works for site support and restoration.
In 2023, we restructured our group of companies:
The Frank Föckersperger GmbH now oversees both FST GmbH (utility construction) and Föckersperger Maschinen GmbH (engineering, production, and global sales).
And in 2025, we celebrate our 160th anniversary!
Our story is defined by innovation, progress, and a strong family spirit – and we’re proud to carry this tradition into the future.
