STÖBER Antriebstechnik was founded in 1934 by brothers
Paul and Wilhelm STÖBER. The company specialized in
general machine building and motorcycle engine repair.
In the years that followed, the brothers identified the
need for a compact adjustable speed device which could
be independently applied to different types of production
machinery. In1943, they introduced their first mechanical
adjustable speed traction drive.
The company moved into its existing facilities in 1959
and continued to grow and add new products including: gear
drives, fractional horsepower double disc traction drives
for wider speed ranges, electrical adjustable-speed drives,
high-performance drives and more.
A second production facility in Pforzheim, Germany, was
opened in 1984 to accommodate the increased demand for
the company's products.
Even with the many new
products introduced through the years, the company continued
development of
many of their original product lines. The many refinements
engineered into these products over the past 61 years have
earned it a worldwide reputation for ease-of-use and exceptional
service life. In fact, the STÖBER MGS (or Modular Gear
System) allows for millions of possible combinations to
suit most every industrial application. STÖBER Antriebstechnik
employs more than 500 people worldwide and is represented
in 28 countries.
Today, Bernd STÖBER and other family members carry
on the STÖBER family tradition of innovation and
customer service. The company's manufacturing capacity
has grown from a small corner in a family plant to well
over 250,000 square feet. The company now has sales/engineering/distribution
locations in: Germany, the United States, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Sweden, England, Italy,
the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Spain, Switzerland,
Korea, Columbia, Bulgaria, Peru, Poland,
South Africa, Thailand, Philippines, Hungary, Turkey and China.
The company's headquarters in Pforzheim, Germany is located
100 miles south of Frankfurt.
