Puch is a manufacturing company located in Graz, Austria. The company was founded in 1889 by the industrialist Johann Puch and produced automobiles, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles. Austria's first production motorcycles were built by Puch in 1903. Other Austrian manufacturers followed, but none of them were as successful or established a comparable international reputation, until the emergence of the KTM company in the 1960s - Function
