history

Administration building in Hückeswagen

The Klingelnberg company was founded in Remscheid in 1863 as the widow Ferdinand Klingelnberg sons of Julius and Ernst Klingelnberg. In 1863 Anna Helene Klingelnberg arranged for the steel and iron goods store in Remscheid to be entered in the commercial register (W. Ferd. Klingelnberg). In 1916 tool manufacturing was relocated from Remscheid to Hückeswagen on Peterstraße in a former textile factory that had been shut down. From 1922, under chief engineer Heinrichschicht, the development and production of the continuous bevel gear hobbing process based on the palloid process took place there . One of the first bevel gear hobbing machines built by Klingelnberg is in the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Industrial knives and scissors were manufactured at the Remscheid- Berghausen site (Berghauser Strasse 54-62). In Remscheid- Preyersmühle, forged parts made of iron and steel as well as grinding and polishing machines. Before the Second World War , Klingelnberg employed around 500 people. In 1951 the first subsidiaries abroad were founded. In 1989, the company acquired the Oberweier near Ettlingen- based Dr. Wiener GmbH. The takeover marked the entry into bevel gear grinding.

In 1991 the Klingelnberg GmbH Hückeswagen and the IKS Klingelnberg GmbH in Remscheid separated. IKS Klingelnberg has been an independent group of companies ever since. In 1993, Oerlikon Geartec AG in Zurich was taken over. In 1989 and five years later, 100 percent of the shares in CM Digit, Ettlingen were acquired. In 2008, a hall for large bevel gear production was opened in the Winterhagen district of Hückeswagen . In 2010, the new company headquarters in Zurich was completed and inaugurated. In 2012, Höfler Maschinenbau GmbH was taken over by the Klingelnberg Group and the company's name was changed to Klingelnberg GmbH. The product range was thus expanded to include hobbing machines and tooth flank grinding machines for spur gear machining.

On May 30, 2018, the company announced that it would distribute 50 percent of the shares in Six in Zurich. The company has been listed with the Klingelnberg family as anchor shareholders since June 20, 2018 .

Today's fields of activity

Alongside Gleason-Pfauter, the Klingelnberg Group is one of the two world market leaders in the development, manufacture and delivery of machines for the manufacture of spiral-toothed bevel gears and related products. The main products are gear components for mechanical engineering. Furthermore, the development and manufacture of machines for the manufacture of gears, of precision measuring centers for rotationally symmetrical objects of all kinds as well as the manufacture of gear components on behalf of customers. These machines are used for the production of gears for gears in transportation , shipbuilding , mining , machine and machine tool construction as well as in the field of renewable energy generation .
