The Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik was founded in 1843 by Alfred Krupp, the German industrial magnate, and textile distributor Alexander Schoeller. Alfred Krupp remained a silent partner in the company and Arthur's father Hermann Krupp took on the management of the company. After the death of his father in 1879 Arthur took over the company, bought out Alexander Schoeller in 1890 and established the new name "Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik Arthur Krupp."
