• Steinmeyer History

    The Steinmeyer Group's past is a look back into German industrial history. It tells the story of three German companies that rooted their beginnings in precision engineering. Companies with a passion for precision, innovation and German engineering.

    Until the middle of the 20th century, they experienced expansion and success, but also crises and wars. The Second World War finally split the nation. After German reunification, one country came together, as well as the traditional companies that still represent the Steinmeyer Group today. Together, they went through crises, maintained the tried and tested and tried something new. The companies grew stronger as a united group.

    If you count up the age of the traditional companies today, you end up with over 400 years of experience, development and innovation.
