history
Founding years
In 1902 Margarete born Schmidt (born August 25, 1880 in Nuremberg) and Heinrich Diehl (born August 3, 1878 in Kölschhausen, † 1938 in Nuremberg) set up a blacksmith's shop in Nuremberg. In 1914, they began casting bars and then manufacturing die-pressed parts in Nuremberg's Geuderstraße.
In the next few years a metal works was built at the northeast train station in Nuremberg and a modern extrusion press for the production of bars and tubes was built. In 1930 Karl Diehl , the only son of Margarete and Heinrich Diehl, joined the parents' company. He took over the metal processing company shortly before the start of the Second World War. In 1938 the construction of a new semi-finished product plant in Röthenbach an der Pegnitz began.
Historical
During the Second World War, large parts of the plant were destroyed by air raids and almost all of the operating facilities were dismantled. In 1949, based on the presses , ovens and machine tools that were still in existence , work began on rebuilding the plant. The foundry plant was converted from light metal to heavy metal .
In 1951 a 3,500-ton press was built. In 1956 Diehl Metall started manufacturing synchronizer rings .
The company bought Sundwiger Messingwerk KG in Hemer and became a manufacturer of rolling products. Over the next few years, Diehl Metall built a new pipe plant with a 1,600-ton pipe press and built the first continuous twin-strand casting plant for brass with an annual capacity of 47,000 tons.
In 1973 Diehl do Brasil Metalúrgica was founded by Diehl Metall in São Paulo , Brazil .
From 1974 to 1984 the drop forge was expanded, another pipe press was installed, a dedusting system was built for the foundry and expanded to include the continuously operating "Demag continuous caster". In 1977 the so-called Schumaghalle was built. In 1981 a new strip rolling mill was inaugurated in the Sundwiger brass works.
In 1985, heat recovery systems were installed in the foundry. At the same time, the laboratory building at Diehl Metall Messing was expanded. In 1990 Diehl Metall took part in a pilot project run by the Berlin Environment Agency and built a new dedusting system.
In 1998 a cutting and service center was established in Shenzhen , China . Diehl Metall Schmiedetechnik was relocated to new premises.
In 1999 Röthenbach an der Pegnitz became the headquarters of Diehl Metall. A year later Diehl Metall took over The Miller Company ( USA ).
Business expansion
In 2002 Karl Diehl left the company and his first-born son Werner Diehl took over the position of Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
In 2003 Diehl Synchro Tec Manufacturing ( Wuxi ) Co. Ltd. founded in China . In 2006 Diehl Metall took over OTB Oberflächentechnik in Berlin and founded Diehl Power Electronic SAS in France . A year later, Diehl took over Augé Découpage in France. In 2009 Diehl Metal Applications GmbH (DMA) was established with locations in Germany, France and China, the Diehl Metal Applications companies are Diehl Metal Applications GmbH (Berlin location), Diehl Metal Applications GmbH ( Teltow location ), Sundwiger Messingwerk ( Hemer ), Diehl Augé Découpage ( Besançon ), Diehl Power Electronic (Siaugues), Diehl Metall ( Shenzhen ).
One year later, Diehl Metall took over Zehdenick Innovative Metall- und Kunststofftechnik GmbH (ZIMK), which also becomes a Diehl Metall Applications company. A DMA product development department was set up there in 2011, which among other things develops solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles . In 2012, Diehl took over Schempp & Decker Präzisionsteile und Oberflächentechnik GmbH in Berlin and founded Diehl Metal India Pvt. Ltd. in India . In 2013, the two companies OTB Oberflächentechnik in Berlin and Schempp & Decker Präzisionsteile und Oberflächentechnik were combined into Diehl Metal Applications GmbH.
