history

Kleemann's United Factories at the beginning of the 19th century

The company goes back to a small file carving company from 1857, founded by Ferdinand Kleemann . Kleemann's file-cutting was the first industrial operation in the town. He soon added forage cutting machines and other agricultural equipment to his company's range. Later, circular saws , eccentric and screw presses added. Finally, they specialized in stone processing . Initially, in the 1920s, mainly mobile crushing and screening plants were developed; in the 1960s, stationary and, from the 1980s, crawler-type systems of this type were in the foreground. After the Second World War , stone processing became the mainstay of the company.

In 2005 the company was converted into Kleemann GmbH and in 2006 a majority stake of 80 percent became the property of the Wirtgen Group .

In 2008, the construction of a new main plant of Kleemann GmbH began in the Stauferpark in the east of Göppingen. After a year of construction, the new plant was put into operation on an area of ​​12.5 hectares. The company invested around 60 million euros in the new location. In 2016 the company expanded its plant to a total of 150,000 m³.

In 2017, the entire Wirtgen Group was sold to the US company John Deere .
