KLINGELNBERG GmbH (former HÖFLER Maschinenbau GmbH) – this name has been standing for innovation, continuity in quality and service as well as for economic and ergonomic working in the field of gear grinding. Latest technology is developed and then scrutinized in close cooperation with qualified suppliers in the shortest possible time in our high-capacity grinding and hobbing center. The former HÖFLER Maschinenbau GmbH was established by Dr.-Ing. Willy Höfler in Ettlingen in 1959. While the company first of all concentrated on gear testing technology, already in 1966 the first HÖFLER gear grinder was introduced to interested experts. What began modestly grew in the following years to a company offering a wide gear grinding machine program for almost all gear sizes and applications.
