Joseph Kieninger was from the beginning very focused on producing mechanisms of the highest quality and in fact before any mechanism left the factory Joseph personally inspected it himself. The reliability and quality of the products led to a an increase in demand for Kieninger clocks and by January 1913, the company employed 18 workers. It was in 1921 that the new factory went into production and the business continued to grow with the need to add another building in 1927. Josephs sons (Fritz, Josef & Wilhelm) were working alongside him in the company and in 1930 thanks to Wilhelm Kieninger, the company developed the H-series mechanism which although has been refined and had additional features added, is still similar to the high precision H-movement which is produced today. In 1936 Joseph Kieninger died and the running of the company fell to the three sons and despite the difficult conditions created by the war the company continued to produce clocks of high quality and by 1939 was employing 78 people. After the war there was a shortage of materials for a few years, however, by 1948 the economic situation had started to improve. Germany was building lots of new properties and thus the need for furniture and more importantly clocks increased. Furthermore the clocks which Kieninger produced were being exported to over 50 countries and as a result by 1960 the company was employing over 150 workers. During the 60s the next generation of the Kieninger family joined the company with Gottfried Kieninger (Josef's son) taking over as the commercial manager in 1962. Wilhelm Kieninger’s son Gerhard Kieninger, took over the engineering and his brother Rudolf joined the company in 1969.
