EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH (formerly an acronym of " E ilenburger Ba ustoffmaschinen we rk") is a leading company in the mechanical and plant engineering from Saxony Eilenburg near Leipzig, which today for Progress Holding from Brixen / South Tyrol belongs. The history of EBAWE goes back to the year 1854, the year of the foundation of the "Maschinenbauanstalt Dr. Bernhardi son ”. Today's EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH was newly founded in 1998 by the Progress Group. Thus the former EBAWE Maschinenbau GmbH, which existed from 1990 to 1998, became EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH.
Products
Today, EBAWE Anlagentechnik produces complete production systems for the industrial production of various precast concrete parts . Within the group of companies, EBAWE manufactures circulation systems, machines and systems for processing reinforcing steel, formwork systems, systems for prestressed concrete elements as well as machine software and complete ERP systems. In addition, mixing systems, bucket conveyors, formwork, 3D software for prefabricated parts and other components such as cranes, concrete grinding machines, etc. are sold. Today, the company is represented with its products at numerous trade fairs worldwide, e. B. at the Excon in Bangalore , India , the CTT in Moscow , Russia and the Bauma in Munich .
history
Bernhardi, Monski and Nestler
The history of mechanical engineering in Eilenburg goes back to 1854. At that time, Anton Bernhardi founded the “Maschinenbauanstalt Dr. Bernhardi Sohn ”on the Nordring to manufacture machines for sand-lime brick production using the process he invented. The doctor and cooperative member Bernhardi pursued the goal of creating a high quality and at the same time inexpensive building material for social housing . The factory manufactured artificial stone presses for lime, sand and cement products as well as mortar mixing machines, polishing and crushing machines and briquetting systems. The company had to cope with a sharp decline in sales due to the global economic crisis in 1929, but was able to hold its own. Since the "seizure of power" by the National Socialists strained international economic relations, sales on the world market collapsed. Instead, at the end of the 1930s, the company took on lucrative orders for war production, such as making grenades for artillery and tanks.
At the other end of Eilenburg in the area between today's Kranoldstrasse and Walter-Rathenau-Strasse, Alexander Monski opened the "A. Monski Iron Foundry and Machine Factory" in 1877. The hot air machine patented by the British engineer Robert Stirling in 1816 was manufactured there. In addition, there was the production of numerous different pumps and blowers . As with Bernhardi, the Monski machine factory was no longer fully utilized from 1929, so the workforce was reduced. During the Second World War , Monski made engine parts from electron for the aircraft industry.
Not far from the Monski machine factory in Kranoldstrasse, Carl Lucke founded a machine factory in 1879 to manufacture various presses. An iron foundry was later built on Schreckerstrasse. "Pressenlucke" had trade relations all over the world. The global economic crisis forced the company management to close the large part of the company between Kranoldstrasse and Schreckerstrasse and concentrate on the small sand-lime brick plant in Eilenburg-Ost . The vacant factory halls were taken over by Helmut Nestler in 1935. The company was involved in war production from the start and was a supplier for Erla Maschinenwerk GmbH in Leipzig-Heiterblick . From 1938 on, aircraft engines were also repaired. At that time, a second plant was built on the remote Lauchberg in Eilenburg-Ost to move the operational noise from the residential area. The company was awarded the title of " National Socialist Model Company ".
Development of the machine works after the war
In June 1945 Bernhardi & Sohn resumed production of their building material machines despite severe damage. On October 1, 1947, the transfer to the "Association of Industrial Works Saxony-Anhalt" as the Eilenburg machine factory took place and the plant received a development loan of 200,000 marks. On the one hand, the reparations demanded by the Soviet Union , on the other hand, the strong domestic demand for roof tiles ensured that capacities were fully utilized. Monski's small turning shop and locksmith's shop were destroyed. The production of pumps and fans was resumed. The oil pumps had to be transferred to the Soviet Union as reparations. After the end of the war, the Nestler factory produced agricultural machines and road rollers . On July 1, 1948, in the course of the expropriation of war criminals and Nazi activists, the company was transferred to public ownership and henceforth operated as VVB MELSA Maschinenfabrik Eilenburg.
Foundation of the EBAWE and development in the GDR
In 1949 the former Bernhardi factory on the Nordring was renamed "Eilenburg building material machine factory". On April 1, 1951, this company and the MELSA machine factory merged to form VEB EBAWE Eilenburger Baustoffmaschinenwerk. After Monski's expropriation in 1950, its operation was initially run in trust until it was incorporated into VEB EBAWE in 1953. This in turn was incorporated into the Baukema combine. EBAWE now had three locations in the city: Kranoldstrasse (Plant 1), Nordring (Plant 2) and Walter-Rathenau-Strasse (Plant 3). In the 1960s, the scientific and technical center (WTZ) Baukema developed a new construction method with the tunnel formwork process. The high-rise building on Eilenburger Gabelweg, which defines the cityscape, was built as an experimental building to test the new process. The product range included numerous building material machines as well as equipment for residential , social and industrial construction . As the main contractor for equipping the GDR's panel factories, EBAWE had a promising future against the backdrop of the housing construction program . Military equipment was also supplied with the GMG 2.5 .
Due to the great need for machines in the panel factories and additional export of machines, the production facilities in the city area were no longer sufficient. In addition, the decentralized arrangement of the operational parts required complex inner-city transport. For these reasons, the responsible ministry for heavy machinery and plant engineering approved the completely new production facility at the gates of the city in Eilenburg-Ost. From 1977 several factory halls, an office building, a waterworks, a vocational school, a social building with a doctor's station and company consumption, a company restaurant and a rail connection were built. By 1987, all parts of the company were combined at the new location, at which time the EBAWE was the second largest employer in the city after the chemical plant with around 1,200 employees .
privatization
In 1990 VEB EBAWE Baustoffmaschinen Eilenburg was privatized and EBAWE Maschinenbau GmbH was founded. The transition to a market economy was accompanied by a reduction in the majority of the workforce. Of the approximately 1,200 employees at the end of the 1980s, just over 70 remained in 2010. In 1992, the connecting railway was stopped, but the V 18 factory locomotive was held for a few years for a possible restart.
The old locations in the Eilenburg city area were used again after 1990. In Plant 1 (formerly Lucke / Nestler) the Geißler bus company and a discotheque set up . The nearby Plant 3 (Monski) is now used by a machine shop. The former Plant 2 (Bernhardi) on the Nordring was canceled around 2007; A discount market was built on the site .
In 1998, EBAWE Maschinenbau GmbH was bought up by today's Progress Group and re-established as EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH. As one of a total of 7 subsidiaries, EBAWE is today the world market leader in the production of turnkey systems for the manufacture of precast concrete parts .
