OTTO FUCHS is a German family-owned industrial group founded in 1910, headquartered in Meinerzhagen. According to its official website, the group employs more than 5,000 people worldwide across 9 locations and operates in fields including space flight, worldwide transport of people and goods, high technology in mechanical engineering, and modern architecture. Its history page describes its development from a yellow-metal foundry in 1910 into an internationally operating corporate group, now led by the fourth generation.

OTTO FUCHS began in 1910 as a yellow-metal foundry and developed over more than 100 years into an internationally operating corporate group. Today the fourth generation carries responsibility for the house and its employees. The group employs more than 5,000 people worldwide. In 2010, the company entered new markets and set world records; in 2018, the completion of a 54,000-ton press in the USA set another world record and opened new possibilities for the aerospace industry, and OTTO FUCHS Surface Technology was established. In 2020, the general overhaul of the 30,000-ton press and the opening of a central development center at the company headquarters in Meinerzhagen strengthened development competence and commitment to Germany as a development and production location. In 2021, a second plant in Hungary at the Mór site created additional capacity for manufacturing battery housings for e-mobility. In 2023, the expansion of OTTO FUCHS KG in Meinerzhagen into a technology center for aerospace began, and the position in the aerospace industry was further strengthened by a second location in Verdi (USA) as well as the acquisition of VOGT NDT.

Family-owned industrial group with over a century of experience, focused on aerospace, transport, machinery and architecture.
