Business areas

The Trumpf Group is divided into the two business areas of machine tools and laser technology. These are grouped under the umbrella of a management holding company, Trumpf GmbH + Co. KG.

Punching machine

Machine tools

Machine tools for flexible sheet metal and tube processing account for the greater share of sales. Trumpf manufactures machines for punching , bending , for combined punch-laser processes as well as for laser cutting and laser welding applications. There are also automation solutions and software for networked production.

Laser technology

The product range in laser technology includes laser systems for laser cutting , welding and surface processing of three-dimensional parts as well as process power supplies for industrial applications. Trumpf offers high-performance CO2 lasers , disk and fiber lasers , direct diode lasers, ultra-short pulse lasers as well as marking lasers and systems. 3D printing machines for metallic components were added to the product portfolio in 2015. The lasers are used, for example, in automobile construction, medical technology, sheet metal production and in the electronics and photovoltaic industries.

Digital business platform

In 2015, Trumpf founded the subsidiary Axoom. She develops and operates a digital business platform for manufacturing companies. In July 2019, TRUMPF announced that GFT Technologies SE would take over the business activities and employees of AXOOM in Karlsruhe.

history

Beginnings

In 1923, Christian Trumpf and two partners acquired the mechanical workshop Julius Geiger GmbH in Stuttgart. The company manufactured flexible shafts , which are used, among other things, in metalworking machines, and motorized hand shears for cutting sheet metal. In 1933 the company moved to the Stuttgart suburb of Weilimdorf . Trumpf employed about twenty French slave laborers during the war. The production facilities survived the war years undamaged.

Economic boom

Stationary machines for sheet metal processing were a main part of the product range in the post-war period. In 1950, Trumpf employed 145 people and sales exceeded one million Deutschmarks for the first time. Ten years later there were 325 employees and a turnover of 11 million DM. In 1963 the company founded its first foreign company in Baar in the Swiss canton of Zug .

World market

Trump site in Farmington, Connecticut, USA

In 1968, Trumpf manufactured the TRUMATIC 20, the first sheet metal working machine with numerical contouring control . Apart from tool changes, this machine enabled a fully automatic workflow. All information for processing the workpiece is saved on punched tape.

A year later the company opened a subsidiary in Farmington , Connecticut , USA. Farmington is now the company's second largest location and headquarters for the entire American market. In 1972 Trumpf moved its headquarters to Ditzingen. In 1978 Berthold Leibinger became a managing partner and in the same year founded a subsidiary in Japan.

Using the example of the world market leader Trumpf, the future orientation and focus of companies in the same branch has been shown as an example.

laser

Laser welding of thick sheets

In 1985, Trumpf presented its own CO 2 laser with the LASER TLF 1000 . It had a beam power of over 1 kW and was the first compact laser resonator with high frequency excitation. In 1988 Trumpf Lasertechnik GmbH was founded.

Solid-state laser activities began in 1992 with a stake in Haas Laser GmbH in Schramberg . The company is now 100% part of the Trumpf Group. A new laser factory was inaugurated at the Ditzingen headquarters on November 20, 1998.

New business areas

In the 1990s, Trumpf expanded its product range by integrating further processes such as bending (1992) and tube processing (1999). Trumpf also opened up completely new business areas such as medical technology, which was sold again in 2013.

Generation change

In 2005, shortly before his 75th birthday, Berthold Leibinger stepped down from the management after 40 years. His daughter Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller became the new chairman of the management. In addition to her brother Peter Leibinger , who is Deputy Chairman, her husband Mathias Kammüller is also part of the management.
