German term or phrase: für sich belegen
Die Innovationsreihe reicht zurück bis 1931, als [die Firma] den ersten Tellerschleifer mit Staubabsaugung entwickelte und damit das Thema Gesundheit und Sicherheit für sich belegte.
This appears in a company profile. I have no idea how to translate 'für sich belegte' and would also appreciate any suggestions for 'Tellerschleifer mit Staubabsaugung'. Thanks!
