Innovation by tradition – WaldrichSiegen is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-precision large machine tools for grinding, texturing, turning, milling and drilling. Founded in 1840, the traditional company headquartered in Siegen, Germany, has been developing technologies that set new standards worldwide for more than 180 years. WaldrichSiegen was the first machine tool manufacturer to bring the powerful gantry-type milling machine technology, which is widely used in the USA, to Germany to replace the inferior German milling and planing machines.
Through the constant development of new machine concepts, the company became a technology leader. Since 2004, WaldrichSiegen has been part of the globally active HerkulesGroup as an independently managed, medium-sized company and is thus part of a worldwide sales and service network with branches in all important markets. The relocation from Burbach to Siegen, which will be completed in the spring of 2022, represents a milestone in the history of WaldrichSiegen. Directly opposite the Herkules machine factory, a modern manufacturing and administration complex with impressive dimensions was built in Kaan-Marienborn. Customers worldwide benefit from the optimized production and assembly processes, which once again increase product quality and shorten the construction time of the machines.
