history
SW emerged in 1981 as an independent branch of business from Heckler & Koch GmbH, which was taken over by British Aerospace in 1991 and realigned. The British company increasingly concentrated on defense, aerospace technology and finally spun off the mechanical and plant engineering division in 1995 - Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH was founded.
Against the background of the shareholder succession plan, after nine years of independence, in June 2004 the company was sold to the EMAG Group with headquarters in Salach . In October 2008 all shares in Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH were transferred to the newly founded Süddeutsche - EMAG Verwaltungs GmbH. Süddeutsche Beteiligungs GmbH, based in Stuttgart, took over 70% of Süddeutsche - EMAG Verwaltungs GmbH.
In 2012, Süddeutsche Zusammenarbeit GmbH took over the shares of the EMAG Group and is therefore the sole shareholder of Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH.
