history
In 1881 the entrepreneur Carl Schenck founded the Carl Schenck iron foundry & balance factory . The main focus of business activity was the construction of scales .
Carl Schenck's daughter Marie Luise Therese married the high school teacher Georg Büchner on July 14, 1892 in Darmstadt , who later ran the Carl Schenck company as managing director.
Since 1902 the company has also built conveyor technology and since 1907 balancing machines . After the Second World War , Carl Schenck expanded worldwide and set up production facilities and branches in numerous countries. In 1974 the company was converted into a stock corporation, which went public in 1984.
In 2000 Dürr AG took over the majority of the shares in Carl Schenck AG. In 2004, the remaining shareholders were settled in a squeeze-out and Schenck Process GmbH was sold to the private equity company HgCapital. Today, Carl Schenck AG mainly includes the subsidiaries Schenck RoTec GmbH (Balancing and Assembly Products, BAP) and the service company Schenck Technologie- und Industriepark GmbH .
The company traditionally maintains good relationships with the TU Darmstadt , among other things through the endowment of the Carl Schenck Prize , with which the university awards four scholarships annually to students in the fields of law and economics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology as well as computer science.
