Werk (or Werkgen) Fulpmes is the shortened form of “Werkgenossenschaft der Stubaier Kleineisenindustries – Fulpmes” (Cooperative of Stubai Small Iron Industries - Fulpmes), a co-op of 27 small ironworks in the Fulpmes area of the Stubai Valley, Austria that banded together in 1897. They produced tools and other metal products, including mountaineering equipment.

In 1955, Werkgen Fulpmes started marketing various products with the “Stubai” name. In the next few years they gradually used the "Stubai" name for more products. Werkgen Fulpmes officialy adopted the "Stubai" company name in 1960, and subsequently marketed all their items under the Stubai brand name.
