The Biro Manufacturing moved from the leased church building to a small but modern factory building. Carl G. Biro, Sr. was an American immigrant who founded the seedling company of BIRO Manufacturing in the early 1920's. Carl had a humble beginning as the son of a local blacksmith in his native country of Hungary. After settling in America, Carl became an apprentice who attended technical school at night and on the weekends. Eventually, Carl became the proprietor of his own meat market. During his proprietorship, he realized the need for a practical machine which would cut meat more efficiently. Thus, in 1921, unable to ignore his ambitions of creating a practical meat cutter, Carl decided to dispose of his meat market so that he could devote more time to his concept. He leased an old church and used the equipment which was available and affordable at the time to pursue his "American Dream" and produce the first BIRO Power Meat, Fish and Bone Cutter.
