In the 1860s, he moved from Wrocław to Bydgoszcz (then Bromberg), where in 1868, he set up an agricultural machinery shop and a workshop, also providing mechanical threshing services.

[5] At the beginning of the 20th century, he purchased land on the eastern outskirts of then Bromberg (today's Leśna street), envisioning to further expand the downtown plant.

As such from 1902 to 1912, several facilities were built: (e.g. administrative buildings, an assembly hall, a foundry for casting iron, a 800 kilowatts (1,100 hp) steam engined power plant).

In 1957, the firm merged with the nationalized "Hans Eberhardt's Factory" (at Swiętej Trojcy street) and its name was changed to Pomorskie Zakłady Budowy Maszyn "Makrum" (Polish: Pomeranian Machine Building Plant) with several departments.

[12] Another wave of expansion occurred from 1962 to 1967, further rebuilding factory halls and retrofitting the processing machines to handle heavy, large-size devices.

[12] However, the compulsory use of domestic components, raw materials and appliances reduced significantly the quality of manufactured products which regularly demonstrated defects.

[1] From 1975 onwards, the plant had its own design department, which prepared the full technical documentation to be sent to the different subcontracting facilities:[14] At that time, "MAKRUM" belonged to the Union of Mechanized Construction "Zremb" based in Warsaw.

Under an export agreement, plants were built abroad: In addition to these equipments in the Middle East, complete facilities with machinery were shipped to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union.

[16] As the premises at Leśna street (in the Leśne district) reached their maximum extension, it was decided in the early 1980s to construct a new production complex in Paterek near Nakło nad Notecią, three times larger than in Bydgoszcz.

In 2011, Immobile Capital Group was established as a conglomerate managing companies from diverse market sectors[19] such as "MAKRUM", "Focus Hotels", "Quiosque" (clothing shops) or "Atrem SA" (engineering technology).

[1] In 2014, the conglomerate's, which named was changed to "Immobile Capital Group S.A.",[17] operated in diverse economic areas: electromechanical industry, hotels, construction, trade and property management.

[20] The plot of the former plant, located between streets Leśna, Kamienna, Dwernickiego and Sułkowskiego, and covering 10 hectares (25 acres), was first considered to be converted into a shopping center.

[21] The entire project is run by "CDI", a subsidiary of Immobile Capital Group S.A. On September 25, 2019, the demolition of the remaining production buildings on the parcel began.

[24] Its recent customers include, inter alia, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Helmerding (hydraulic presses), KGHM Polska Miedź (copper and silver producer) and AXTech (marine industry).
