Heinrich Eibach GmbH is a German company that has specialized in the development and production of suspension and chassis systems for the automotive industry and also manufactures special technical springs for a wide variety of other industrial applications. The company is part of the globally active Eibach Group , which - with Eibach Industries as the parent company - is organized as a holding structure.
history
The Eibach company was founded in Rönkhausen in 1951 by Heinrich Eibach , the father or grandfather of the current owner or managing director . The company founder died in 1967, whereupon his son Wilfried Eibach took over the company management together with Walter Korte. Until the 1970s, springs were only manufactured for industrial applications. It was only with the advent of the German tuning industry that springs for vehicles began to be developed and manufactured. The chassis technology division was founded in 1975 and Eibach Oberflächentechnik (EOT) was founded in 1981 . The internationalization of the company was further advanced through the establishment of the subsidiaries Eibach Springs, USA (1987), Eibach Japan (1994), Eibach UK (1996) and Eibach South East Asia, Australia (1997/8).
In 2000 the Eibach Group was restructured under the Eibach AG holding company. Today the company is one of the leading manufacturers in its branch. Eibach has production plants in Germany, the USA and China. Subsidiaries are located in England, Japan, Australia and South Africa, which means that the company is represented on five continents.
With around 500 employees, customers in 80 countries are supplied. The company is also represented as an exhibitor at important trade fairs such as the IAA or Marintec in Shanghai.
