history

Unimog built by Boehringer from 1949 to 1951

Johann Georg Boehringer, who was previously a factory supervisor at the Baumann wool spinning mill , founded his own repair shop for spinning and weaving machines in Karlstrasse in Göppingen around 1844. In 1855 his brother brought the know-how with him from America to build the first 3-hp steam engine. In 1868 there were six steam engines in Göppingen , in 1890 the Oberamt counted 138 of them with an output of over 3,000 hp. At the end of the century, the company specialized in planing machines and lathes , especially turret lathes for the emerging automotive industry.

Erwin Sturm developed the hydrostatic compact transmission in the 1920s, which was built by the Boehringer brothers as the Boehringer Sturm oil transmission . This division was spun off into the subsidiary Hydrokraft GmbH in 1987 . In 1928, the company and three other manufacturers founded the manufacturing and sales group "United Lathe Factory" (VDF). During the mechanical engineering ban by the Allies, the search for so-called "peace products" such as B. stocking knitting machines, can closing machines or cookers. Rolf Boehringer acquired the Unimog from Erhard & Söhne , which they built from 1949 to 1951.

In 1972 the company entered into a cooperation with Oerlikon-Bührle AG in Zurich, which acquired a majority stake in 1973. In 1981 the company was changed to Oerlikon-Boehringer GmbH and Peter-Jürgen Kreher became managing director. From 1987 Boehringer, like the Ex-Cell-O-Group in Eislingen, belonged to IWKA-Aktiengesellschaft and was now called Boehringer Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH . The company was bought by the US group Maxcor Inc. in 2006 and was eventually incorporated into the MAG IAS group. In 2013, the Taiwanese Fair Friend Group (FFG) bought MAG's Industrial Equipment division. Parts of the Boehringer product portfolio (VDF Boehringer) were then transferred to the Fair Friend Group. In 2015, FFG took over the entire MAG Group.
