About Us
Our mission:
Innovation that goes deep!
Since our founding in 1995, we have grown from a three-person operation into an internationally active company. Based in Nordhausen in the southern Harz Mountains, we manufacture compact and powerful machines for well drilling, geotechnical engineering, geothermal energy, specialist foundation engineering, and ordnance disposal. Our products are characterized by their small dimensions, high efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
