Stahl Maschinenfabrik is a corporation established and operating under the laws of the Republic of Alduria, and later, the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Founded by a Shirerithian named Friedrich Lothar Arüstuck in Beauharnais, it began as an enamelware fabrication plant, creating, among others, pots, pans, and cutlery for the citizens of the new Republic. The first Euran War saw the profit potential for armaments, and by the time of the Iteran Crisis, the company was already producing subcontracted work, 7.62mm ammunition for the Imperial Constancian Arsenal at Aqaba as part of the Allied Production Matrix.

Discovering a niche, the company began trial production of artillery shells, becoming an indirect competitor of Neridia Defense Industries, but due to its location, was able to compete with price and distance to its main clients, the Aldurian and Imperial Constancian armed forces.

In 1694, it began production of an 88 mm anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun.

In 1699 AN, Friedrich Lothar Arüstuck received an exceptional offer from a consortium of investors, thereafter going into a partnership with them to establish a Benacian subsidiary in Gloomburg (UGB).
