Chiron-Werke

The CHIRON Group describes itself as one of the world's leading providers of machining centers and processing solutions with a presence in all major markets, and states that its promise to customers is 'PERFORMANCE MEETS PRECISION'. Its offerings span CNC-controlled vertical milling and mill-turning, automation, turnkey machining processes, digital solutions (SmartLine and SmartServices), services, refurbishment, and an outlet for new and refurbished machines. The company states that about 1,600 employees work on complex demands and future-proof solutions, and that its machining centers serve industries including automotive, medical technology, aerospace, precision technology, tool manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. Its history page states that the company's continuity in mechanical engineering dates back to 1921.

The CHIRON Group's history page states that change has been the common thread running through the company since 1921 and is firmly woven into its DNA. It states that the foundation of the 'Fabriken für feinmechanische Apparate und chirurgische Instrumente GmbH' – a precision appliance and surgical instrument manufacturing company – by Otto Staebler and Gottfried Schnell in 1921 was made possible by the invention of 'stainless steel' in 1912. The two founders recognized the potential of this material and produced new instruments described as precise, extremely sharp, stable, and easy to sterilize. By the end of the 1930s, the product range was already comprised of around 30,000 medical technology products, and CHIRON, together with other companies, established Tuttlingen's reputation as the 'global center of medical technology'. The page also states that the compressed air industry began in the early 1950s, that CHIRON recognized significant potential in compressors and pressurized-air devices and systematically developed the new market, and that the product range soon expanded from compressors for installation to stationary compressor systems.
