During that time of profound changes, the company Glas & Lohr appeared by building a special manufactory for seeders in 1908.

During the 1950s, in the newly-founded Federal Republic of Germany, the economic miracle took place. The company Glas stepped into the production of motor scooters. The building of the legendary "Goggomobil" in 1955 changed Dingolfing into a distinguished industrial location in Lower Bavaria.
