[edit] History

HUSS was founded in 1919 in Bremen and originally made new and replacement parts for ship engines.^[1] The company began to create amusement rides in 1969 and since 2006 the enterprise has focussed exclusively on the production of rides.

On August 1, 2006 the Bremen district court declared provisional insolvency and an insolvency manager was appointed.^[2] Following this, a new company was created, Huss Park Attractions. The new company was created by a group of investors and the Hungarian factory 'Huss Gépgyár Kft'.^{[citation needed]}
