history

The county committee Moers approved by deed dated December 4, 1904 a request from the company Friedrich Krupp AG , on the grounds of the Friedrich-Alfred-Hütte in Rheinhausen accurate (: on the property of the municipality Bliesheim, mayor Friemersheim , hall 13 No. 1023/144. ) To build a bridge building company to construct machines and structures. The iron construction workshop, as the subdivision of the iron and steel works was initially named, was completed in December 1907, but was not fully operational until February 1, 1908. After initially the main focus of work was the production of our own workshops, bridge structures were soon added in Germany and a little later in other countries.

On April 1, 1941, the bridge construction company became an independent company, initially called Fried. Krupp Stahlbau Rheinhausen led. It was initially run as a branch of the Krupp Essen company at the local court under the commercial register entry A No. 8795.

On January 26, 1944, the judicial transfer took place under the neutral name Stahlbau Rheinhausen to the district court of Moers , Commercial Register A No. 358. In 1957 the name was changed to Fried. Krupp Maschinen- und Stahlbau Rheinhausen (District Court Moers, A 770). In the 1970s, the company was renamed Krupp Industrietechnik. The legal form was always that of a GmbH .

The seat was in Rheinhausen am Niederrhein , where the new head office was built on Franz-Schubert-Strasse around 1962 and expanded in 1973.

Production in Duisburg-Rheinhausen was discontinued in 1978 and the headquarters were relocated to Essen. In 1987 Krupp Industrietechnik made a loss of around 100 million DM. The corporate crisis (which ultimately also led to the closure of Krupp Hüttenwerk Rheinhausen) was a major media issue at the time. In 1989 there was a cooperation with the Mannesmann Demag company , in which various locations and production areas were also swapped. The administration building in Rheinhausen was finally pulled empty in 1996 and has been rotting since then.

The company is still active in numerous locations today, e. B. in Hanover-Langenhagen (customer service station for compressed air and hydraulics ), in Siegen and in Grünwald .
