History

Of 1873, the Master Locksmith Jakob Dieffenbacher made ​​with 26 years self-employed in Epping. Already in the 1880s, stoves and ovens as well as cash cabinets have been produced which are still to be found in many northern Baden banks.

The development of the early 20th century led to the operation in the old town was too small. A new factory for the construction of hydraulic fruit, wine and oil presses was built. After the Second World War, the Dieffenbacher Group, specialized in the field of heavy engineering and could 1954 hold in the wood industry foot. The first particle board and veneer presses were manufactured. In addition, plywood plants were included decorative equipment for finishing chipboard in the product.

Mid-60s developed Dieffenbacher Spotting with swivel slide plate and retractable table. This type of press is already forerunner of today's tryout. From 1960 Dieffenbacher built for the processing of fiber-reinforced polyester plastics molding and developed in the 1970s, the market leader in this field.

With the entry of Wolf -Gerd Dieffenbacher in 1980 as managing partner for the development of a complete system manufacturers and the internationalization of the company with a number of start-ups, acquisitions and global expansion of sales offices and service centers began. The Dieffenbacher Group is represented worldwide at 22 locations today.
