History
-
"Bilora is a German camera maker - Kürbi & Niggeloh, Radevormwald (founded 1909, with Camera production from 1935). The company's history began in 1909 with the foundation of KÜRBI & Niggeloh in Barmen-Rittershausen. In November, 1911 Wilhelm Kürbi and Carl Niggeloh started up with a new fabrication building in Radevormwald, producing, developing and managing in an building area of 1200m². In the following years, K.& N had many good ideas in tripod crafting and in time they started significant camera production.
In July, 1961 the first automation for synthetic parts was installed, because they expected a great future in synthetic parts. Years later the fabrication building was to small again and a second building was built, with 12,000m². Since this time production and stock keeping is settled here.
Cameras were produced from 1935 in Radevormwald. From the first "Box" to the "Bilomatic" line and the fabrication stopped in 1975. Imagine, in 21 years there were more than one million cameras produced.
In later years, the Bilora brand was used for camera accessories, particularly tripods."
