Groma Büromaschinen

Groma Büromaschinen (founded 1872 as Maschinenfabrik G. F. Grosser) was a German manufacturer of typewriters.^[1] "Groma" was portmanteau from Grosser and Markersdorf, a neighborhood of Chemnitz.

Groma is best known today for the Kolibri, an ultra-flat portable typewriter, but it also made mid-sized and large typewriters.^[2] After World War II, it was a Volkseigener Betrieb.^[3]

The last remains of the machine plant were demolished in 2009.^[4]
