AT HOME THROUGHOUT THE WORLD *7 Eickhoff is a globally operating family enterprise that has been based in Bochum since it was founded in 1864. Our core business: we manufacture machinery and gearing technology designed to withstand extreme conditions worldwide, whether deep underground in mines or one hundred metres above the ground in a wind turbine. Find out more about the strengths that helped us forge our good reputation and get to know our company group. Dr. Paul Rheinlander, CEO of the Eickhoff Group, at the company’s headquarters in Bochum

Historical engraving of the Eickhoff plant in Bochum, 1X61 We are pioneers in the field of mechanical engineering. The foundry established by Carl Eickhoff in 1864 has become a high-tech company - in the heart of the Ruhr District and at two additional production sites in Germany. This continuity enables us to develop our products and services for a global market.

Perfection in metal: finely ground planetary gear for a wind turbine gearbox PRECISION IN A SPIRIT OF RESPONSIBILITY. Whatever we make, we make with precision. The difference can be microscopically small but that is what makes the difference. The more precisely the components of an Eickhoff product are designed to interact with each other, the more smoothly and efficiently the entire system works. It is in these crucial micrometres of competitive edge that we invest our entire experience, state-of-the-art knowhow and passion for our products.

RELIABILITY AS A PRINCIPLE Decades of continual use. Mining machinery, gearboxes and foundry equipment from Eick-hoff work reliably and have extremely long service lives - even under highly stressful conditions for both materials and engineering. The fact that we manufacture to the highest quality standards really pays off for our customers. They know they can rely on very low downtimes and outstanding efficiency. Moreover, our production facilities ensure that spare parts will still be available, even decades later. Extremely challenging lor both man and machinery: shearer loader SL 500 in...

Customised production: planetary carriers for our products from our inhouse foundry and machinery plant FLEXIBILITY AS STRENGTH. Our engineers know what you need. At every site in the world we are confronted with a different set of technical challenges and customer requirements. We perfectly tailor our solutions to suit each situation. That is why Eickhoff products are not built on a series basis, but as specially developed one-off versions. We keep on improving and testing our equipment until everything works perfectly. Thanks to our flat hierarchical structures and agile minds, things...

Technical pioneering achievement: the first bar-cutting machine on the continent, built by E'.ickliotT in 1914 INNOVATION GIVES US A COMPETITIVE EDGE. We turn technical visions into reality. As early as 1914 it was the innovative power of Eickhoff that set new standards in both mining and drive engineering. Today too, good ideas and mature implementation are our greatest assets and enable us to stand at the forefront of the global market. As a current example, our SL 750 EiControlPlus with infrared and radar sensors was awarded the BAUMA Innovation Prize and is one of the most efficient...

SERVICE WITH CUSTOMER PROXIMITY. No matter where you are in the world - and when - we will come to your site as quickly as possible in order to solve any problems that arise. Excellent service is one of our basic principles. With highly trained technicians and a well organised network we ensure that our products are regularly serviced or up and running again as quickly as possible. The joy of owning an Eickhoff product does not end with its commissioning: our service teams are there when you need them

Built for the trends of the times. We originally developed our machinery for mining purposes. However, our wealth of experience is meanwhile very helpful in other markets, too. Our strategy is geared to longterm developments, which not only include the growing need for energy and raw materials, but also the growing trend towards urbanisation and the demand for renewable energy. Eickhoff Bergbautechnik GmbH produces shearer loaders and continuous miners for underground coal mining, Schalker Eisenhutte Maschinenfabrik GmbH manufactures locomotives for ore and coal mining, and meanwhile also...

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM Many heads - one passion. The Eickhoff Group comprises several operational companies under the roof of one family-managed holding, Gebr. Eickhoff Maschinenfabrik u. Eisengiefierei GmbH. Our companies act independently in their respective markets. Within the Group they benefit from synergies in purchasing and administration as well as through an intensive exchange of ideas and knowledge. Their common aim is to continue our tradition and build on our good reputation. 1 Dr. Andreas Merchiers Schalker Eisenhutte Maschinenfabrik GmbH 2 Dr. Ralf Wittor Eickhoff Antriebstechnik...

Employer for generations: working for Eickhoff often stays in the family OUR EMPLOYEES The secret of our quality. The calibre of Eickhoff products depends on the people who are responsible for them. Competence in design, precision in production and a watchful eye when testing quality -these are the key factors. The team members at Eickhoff are proud of the perfection of their products.

THE EICKHOFF RECIPE FOR SUCCESS As a traditional, family-managed company, Eickhoff has always greatly valued every single employee.
