Klingelnberg

Klingelnberg is described by its official website as a leading manufacturer of machine tools for cylindrical and bevel gear processing and precision measuring centers for gears and rotationally symmetric components, and as one of the global market and technology leaders in the gear industry. Its origins date back to 1863, and the Klingelnberg family remains invested in the Company as an anchor shareholder. The company operates engineering and manufacturing facilities in Zurich, Switzerland, and in Hueckeswagen and Ettlingen, Germany, with Sales and Service offices in Italy, France, Spain, Japan, India, China, Brazil, the United States, and Mexico. Its business units include Oerlikon Bevel Gear Technology, Höfler Cylindrical Gear Technology, Klingelnberg Precision Measuring Centers, and Aiktec Digital Solutions.

The company's origins date back to 1863. In the beginning, the company focused on manufacturing tools and machine blades in its own production facility in Remscheid, Germany. The first bevel gear hobbing machine came in 1923, along with a cutter head that could be adjusted to a range of taper angles. The Klingelnberg family remains invested in the Company as an anchor shareholder. In 2024, Klingelnberg acquired measurement technology expert VISPIRON ROTEC GmbH (now ROTEC Munich GmbH). In 2022, after less than a year of construction, the new assembly hall with connected logistics center on the company premises of KLINGELNBERG GmbH in Hückeswagen-Winterhagen was officially inaugurated at the end of 2022. In 2021, the Höfler Cylindrical Gear Roll Testing Machine was first introduced at EMO Milano 2021.
