KEB - From the foundation until today and into the future
Starting with 6 employees in the year of foundation 1972, in the year 2012 more than 1200 KEB employees worldwide provide products of high-graded quality, competent consulting and global service.
A high degree of vertical integration on state-of-the-art production facilities as well as the broad application experience in nearly all areas of the modern mechanical and plant engineering ensure the success of the enterprise. While in the beginning 1,100 m² production area were available, the size of the pure production area has grown over the years to over 35,000 m² in our headquarters in Bantrup.
The initial focus was on the design and production of electromagnetic clutches and brakes. Since the early 1980's we have also been working in the area of electronic drive systems. The fields of application starting, stopping, positioning, open- and closed-loop control of complex machines are competently and safely addressed by a complete program of modern electronic and mechanical drive and control systems. We consider this process of continuous advancement the foundation for continuing to make an active contribution to your applications in the future.
In order to offer a complete drive package from the mains supply to the machine shaft from one source, KEB has been supplementing its range of products with its own gear motors since 1993; these motors are manufactured at Schneeberg (Saxony), from where they are also shipped out.
True to the motto "Designed in Germany - Made for the World" the company consistently addresses customer requirements for global availability.
By establishing production facilities in Shinjo (Japan), Shakopee, Minnesota (USA) and Songjiang (China / near Shanghai), we are increasingly in a position to meet this challenge, to maintain a global presence with the finishing of our electronic, magnetic and gear technology.
