100 Yearsof Excellence

Dear customers, employees, business partners, and friends,
With great joy, we look back on 100 years of company history – a journey that would not have been possible without you. From our humble beginnings on Sturmbühlstrasse to our current role as a trusted partner for customised solutions - primarily in punching and bending technology. Every step tells a story of challenges we have overcome and visions we have brought to life.

This web special is more than just a chronicle – it is a tribute to all those who have been and continue to be part of our story. Your trust and support have made us who we are today. As we reflect on our past, we also look ahead to the future. The values that have guided us so far will remain our compass as we explore new horizons and face the challenges of tomorrow. Be inspired and celebrate this special moment with us!

With warm regards,

Christoph Neudörffer
