Achenbach is an independent family-owned company looking back on more than 570 years of history.<\/p>
Today, Achenbach is a global provider of non-ferrous metal rolling mills with rolling oil and automation systems as well as foil slitting machines for winding, separating, and slitting thinnest metal foils and converting material. Following the company\u2019s philosophy \u2018everything from one single source\u2019 the machines are designed, manufactured, and assembled at Achenbach.<\/p>
Service & Support is provided through their entire operating life cycle. The range of products comprises turnkey production plants, machinery lines, single machines, or selected technology components.<\/p>
The cloud-based platform Achenbach\u00a0OPTILINK\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0opens the way to the overall system networking of the various value creation stages and therefore to the optimization of the entire production process.<\/p> The modernization of Achenbach machines and third party machinery completes the range of products.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> History<\/strong><\/p> 1452 \u2013 1846 local market<\/strong><\/p> In January 1452, a waterwheel-driven Hammer Mill is founded at the rivers of the Ferndorf creek. As hammermen the three Busch brothers convert charcoal reduced pig iron into forgeable iron. According to their name the surrounding village is called: Buschh\u00fctten.<\/p> Forgeable iron bars are sold to finish forgers to make products for household, trade and agriculture, household tools like tongs, shovels, scythes, chops and agricultural equipment like hammers, anvils and plows<\/p> 1846 \u2013 1888 regional markets<\/strong><\/p> The Achenbach Iron Foundry starts its operation after the Achenbach brothers had bought the hammer mill and convert it to iron casting technology. From then on, iron parts can be produced in a much simpler way by casting. Casting liquid iron into sand molds gets only possible with the availability of hard coals in the area.<\/p> Cast iron products primarily for household and agriculture and later for industry like column ovens, oven plates, stoves, gear wheels and rolling mill rolls.<\/p> 1888 \u2013 1945 national markets<\/strong><\/p> Achenbach becomes Rolling Mill Builder: the first Achenbach Rolling Mill results out of the assembly of rolling components which are anyway casted in the iron foundry like rolls, stands and gears. Primarily sheet mills are produces and late after the invention of coilers by Achenbach engineers: strip mills.<\/p> Roling mills for metal sheets and later metal strips: Iron rolling mills, and later: Aluminium rolling mills, copper & brass rolling mills.<\/p> 1945 \u2013 1980 international markets<\/strong><\/p> Achenbach becomes Specialist among the Rolling Mill Builders by concentration on the special requirements for rolling mills for non-ferrous metals with a big amount of R&D work. Caused by the growing importance of process technology and environment protection the product range ist complemented by new rolling oil filtration systems and exhaust air purification systems.<\/p> Rolling mills for non-ferrous metals for strips and later on foils; non-ferrous metals rolling mills: \u2018wider, faster, thinner rolling\u2019, integration of rolling oil filtration and exhaust air purification systems operating economically and ecologically highly efficient in closed loop processes.<\/p> 1980 \u2013 UNTIL TODAY world market<\/strong><\/p> The System Provider Achenbach is \u2018Specialist\u2019 and in substantial parts \u2018World Market Leader\u2019 in the development and provision of machines and technologies for flat rolling and foil slitting of non-ferrous metals. For this purpose, the product range is successively extended by rolling mill automation technology, foil slitting machines and recently by an IoT platform for the optimization of the entire production process.<\/p> \u2018All from one single source\u2019 equipment for the production of rolled and slitted non-ferrous metal strips and foils, horizontally along the value-added chain and vertically by the increase of value-added depth; complete production plants from \u2018Mini-Plants\u2019 up to \u2018Greenfield Plants\u2019 by use of a digital process data network (IoT), single machines, machinery and plant modernization, machine components and spare sparts.<\/p>","logo":{"default":false,"sm":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-sm.jpg","md":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-md.jpg","lg":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-lg.jpg","oar-sm":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-oar-sm.jpg","oar-md":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-oar-md.jpg","oar-lg":"https:\/\/unrestricted.fsn1.your-objectstorage.com\/13\/019fb7b1-3fa9-730e-b38f-c6ead5793680\/conversions\/deb7e504-fcac-47a4-a528-d299f17fc033-oar-lg.jpg"},"website":"https:\/\/www.achenbach.de","color1":"#232D5A","color2":null,"colors":{"primary":"#232D5A","secondary":null,"event":"#da4c36"},"map_style_asset":"https:\/\/cdn.inventum.de\/dynamic\/dgm\/widget\/map-styles\/232d5a\/a3b7d85e70c5e9b63f2c3f8f7e134ded704463d2cd460a654bc64cbcf54b40b1.json","address":{"lines":["Siegener Stra\u00dfe 152","57223 Kreuztal"],"street":"Siegener Stra\u00dfe 152","zip":"57223","city":"Kreuztal","country":"Deutschland","complete_address":"Siegener Stra\u00dfe 152\n57223 Kreuztal","latitude":50.9345063,"longitude":8.0036508},"exhibition_locations":[],"exhibition_rooms":[],"exhibition_booths":[]}],"floor_maps":[]}
