100 years of engineering "Made in Germany
From building a grinding machine for slates in the 1920s to becoming one of the leading international companies in the industry: the development of the WEBER company is impressive. Enthusiasm for new technologies has been in the genes of the Kronach machine factory for 100 years. Each generation brings its own innovative ideas to the company's history. In the meantime, the family-owned company is firmly rooted in the market and not only offers excellent, patented process technologies in the field of wood and metal grinding machines, but has also made a first-class name for itself in the field of extrusion of technical plastics and granulation. By adding the divisions "Additive Manufacturing" and "Robotics and Automation" in 2019, WEBER also set new standards in the areas of large-volume 3D printing via direct extrusion as well as vision-controlled industrial robotics and automation solutions.

100 years of tradition with a view to the future
Each WEBER division combines years of expert knowledge with innovative technologies. Behind every machine is a team of specialists who work hand in hand. For smooth workflows, individual solutions and maximum efficiency - and that for 100 years. The constant further development in the in-house research and development centres combines high-grade engineering with the highest quality.

100 years firmly rooted at the Kronach site in Upper Franconia
The foundation of the "Maschinenfabrik und Eisengießerei Kronach GmbH" in 1922 is the historical origin of the currently existing Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik.  WEBER now employs more than 500 people, including 44 apprentices. For comparison: At the time of the 50th anniversary, there were 253 employees and 42 trainees. The number of employees has therefore almost doubled in proportion to the company's existence.
WEBER produces at two locations in Kronach, on a total of 46,000m² of production space, and supplies customers from over 60 countries with machine technology "Made in Kronach".

100 years of one big family
"We are proud of our 100-year company history, whose success we owe not least to the founding spirit of our great-grandfather Hans Weber, but above all to our dedicated employees. Their customer-oriented commitment, passion, ideas and enormous spirit of innovation have made the company what we are so proud of today," says Dr.-Ing. Markus Weber.
Characteristic for the Weber company as an employer are the numerous, long-standing employees and the accompanying family-like working atmosphere. Many employees have been working for the company for generations, just like the owner family.
