Mairag
was a Swiss frame building
concern in Ebnat-Kappel, Switzerland, dating from the 1960s. The
owners, the Maier brothers, were also related to the founder of
Assos, Toni Maier.
In
the 1970s,
Mairag was associated with
making the Hugo Koblet bicycles.
Schauff bought Mairag in the 1980s to increase
production capacity for steel racing frames.
As the market declined for steel frames in the
late 1980s, the Swiss workshop was closed. Most
the of the jigs, tools, even the painting oven was transferred to
Schauff in Remagen, Germany, and some are now used to produce the
lugged frames for Schauff's current "crmo classic" frames.
