His company patented the electric salt bath which was used for the heat treatment of steel and other alloys. Four years later, the company moved from Stuttgart to Winnenden, where it remains today. The Kärcher product range expanded considerably, with equipment for heating engines for airplanes and cabin heating being produced here. After World War II, the company changed direction and concentrated on products for household purposes, such as trailers, carts, and stoves.
