history
In 1962 Erwin Junker founded his company Erwin Junker Maschinen- und Apparatebau. In 1977 the first own sales offices were opened in Germany and the USA. 1980 LTA Lufttechnik GmbH, manufacturer of filtration systems, was founded in Achern . In 1992 Erwin Junker took over three Czech manufacturers of grinding machines, creating the JUNKER Group. In 1995 JUNKER took an important step in the development of the group with the opening of a technology center in Nordrach and underpinned its commitment to Germany as a technology location. In the same year LTA Lufttechnik GmbH was incorporated into the Junker Group. In 2003 the Shanghai branch was founded. In 2007 the Czech locations merged to form Erwin Junker Grinding Technology as with headquarters in Mělník, which was expanded several times in the following years. In 2009 the JUNKER Group opened the sales and service location in India. Brazil followed two years later, followed by a branch in Russia in 2012 and a branch in Mexico in 2014. The Brazilian grinding machine manufacturer ZEMA Zselics Ltda. also to the group of companies. The headquarters of the JUNKER Group is in Nordrach near Offenburg. There are also production sites in Mělník, Holice, Čtyřkoly and Středokluky (Czech Republic).

In 2015 the Erwin Junker Technical Academy was opened in Holice to train qualified workers. These include the Erwin Junker Hotel and the Quickpoint Restaurant. The factory owner Erwin Junker Foundation was established in 2016. In the same year the company LTA Industrial Air Cleaning was founded in the USA and one year later LTA Industrial Air Cleaning Systems sro in the Czech Republic.
Innovations
JUNKER has been shaping grinding technology with patented processes and innovative technologies since 1962. A few years after the company was founded, JUNKER brought a world first to the market with the first fully automatic flute grinding machine for taps. In 1978, JUNKER laid the foundation for later developments with the introduction of CBN high-speed grinding machines. In the mid-1980s, the company opened up the automotive industry with pioneering inventions. For example, JUNKER invented the Quickpoint machine in 1984. With the new point grinding, all possible contours could be realized in just one clamping. The computer-controlled grinding wheel follows the programmed contour with pinpoint accuracy and processes almost any material from plastic to hard metal. In 2003, JUNKER launched the first CBN high-performance grinding machine for the complete machining of crankshafts in one clamping (machine type: JUCRANK). Another milestone was achieved in 2008 with the JUCENTER machine. The CBN high-performance grinding machine combines two stations (additional processing options) under one hood.
Business areas
The JUNKER Group operates in the business areas of machines, services, technology and equipment. Grinding machines for high-precision metalworking account for the largest share of sales.
