Maul is one of the leading German innovative manufacturers of office supplies which still exists now. The frame is completely made of plastic. The mechanism still is made of tin. A loose metal insert is placed in the frame as a passage bolt for the zero-leveling screw. The black foot of the scale is attached to the frame using a metal ring and ditto screw. The numerals on the chart are positioned horizontally. The realized direction of reading the chart is logical: from left to right. The company was founded in 1912 in the Odenwald by master toolmaker Jakob Maul has been owner-managed ever since, now in its fourth generation. Commitment to values, employee orientation, and a resource-saving approach to nature have always been part of the MAUL way of thinking. Craftsmanship and high-tech - that's what MAUL stands for today. Its in-house production in the Odenwald and Siegerland is a clear commitment in Germany. A love for their materials, high-class design, and delivering first-class quality at all times corresponds to their understanding of value and craftsmanship.
