KRESS GMBH CNC-BEARBEITUNGSTECHNIK UND ANTRIEBSELEMENTE

The company was founded in 1976 by master turner Helmut Kreß. The product range primarily included turned parts for vehicle construction, mechanical engineering, as well as the processing of cast and forged parts. In 1980, the first CNC lathe was acquired. Due to the continuous growth of the company, an expansion of the production area became necessary. As early as 1984, a newly constructed production and administrative building was occupied in the industrial area of Neuenstadt at the current address. Further CNC lathes and machining centers expanded the capacities and manufacturing possibilities. The range of parts grew steadily. The series production of V-belt pulleys and Poly-V pulleys for the automotive sector opened up the field of drive technology. 1994 to present In 1994, the company entered the production of timing belt pulleys, sprockets, and other drive technology elements through the acquisition of the special production of Lenze Südtechnik, Waiblingen. The legal form of the company also changed. Helmut and Axel Kreß became managing directors of the newly formed Kreß GmbH. Through high flexibility and qualitatively excellent products, the company was able to acquire additional customer groups and now supplies almost all areas of crafts and industry as well as wholesale with drive elements. This includes particularly customers from the fields of mechanical engineering, conveyor technology, printing machines and paper processing, packaging machines, textile machines, and automation. For capacity reasons and to improve material logistics, a new production and storage hall was built in 2008. At the same time, this laid the foundation for the further growth of the company.
