Production site

Aue/Saxony

The founding of Erdmann Kircheis' factory in Aue/Saxony in 1861 was a landmark event, occurring during the zenith of the Industrial Revolution. This period marked a significant shift from manual labor to mechanical production, radically transforming the economic, social, and political landscapes of Europe and beyond. Kircheis, alongside other prominent machine manufacturers from Chemnitz, played a crucial role in this transformation, contributing significantly to the advancement of German mechanical engineering.

By the early 20th century, the firm had grown exponentially, employing over a thousand workers and emerging as a pioneer in the global economic integration process. As the largest manufacturer of sheet metal working machines in Europe and a significant exporter, the company systematically leveraged the potential of international markets. Its possession of over one hundred domestic and foreign patents at the time not only affirmed its commitment to innovation but also its strategic intent for international positioning.

In 2011, the company celebrated its 150th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its history. This celebration was not just about commemorating a long-standing presence in the industry but also about reflecting on a journey that intertwined traditional values with a dynamic and ever-evolving narrative. As a pivotal organization in Germany's social market economy, the company has always prided itself on its ability to adapt, innovate, and lead in its sector. This anniversary was a tribute to the enduring legacy and the forward-thinking ethos that has characterized the company since its inception.

Today, the historical buildings established by Erdmann Kircheis continue to stand proudly on the original site in Aue/Saxony. Within these walls, a striking contrast is evident – a blend of historical architecture housing the creation of innovative, leading-edge machines and production lines. This juxtaposition stands as a testament to the company's commitment to preserving its rich heritage while embracing modern advancements. The staff, skilled in contemporary manufacturing techniques and technologies, works diligently within these storied buildings to craft machinery and solutions for the coming decades. This harmonious blend of the old and the new encapsulates the company's enduring legacy and its dynamic approach to innovation and progress.
