Austrian manufacturer of electric and electronic devices, founded in 1919 as
Elektrizitäts Und Metallwaren Industrie Gesellschaf. In 1931 it began
the production of subestandard-gauge film projectors and movie cameras. From
1960 also produced radios and television sets. About 1975 Eumig was
contracted by Polaroid Company for producing the Polavision System
equipment that was launched in 1978. The quality of emulsion provided by
Polaroid was bad and sales were non-existent. Eumig never recovered
financially from this fiasco. In 1981 the company went bankrupcity at time
when the company had 6000 employees. In 1989 the company Rothenberger
GmbH bought the rights for the brand Eumig.
Eumig was famous as
manufacturer of amateur movie cameras and movie projectors, but it also made
some still cameras. |
