Achenbach

Automation of high-performance rolling mills

Achenbach Buschhütten is a worldwide-recognized, independent and owner-managed family-owned company that can look back on an over 555-year tradition. The company headquartered in Kreuztal (Germany) was founded in 1452 as a hammer mill, later became an iron foundry and, since 1888, a builder of rolling mills. Achenbach today is a high-tech mechanical engineering company that belongs to the most important manufacturers of rolling mills for non-ferrous metals. For many years, the company has relied on the Bachmann M1 automation system to provide the control technology for its systems. Beside its performance, Achenbach has been convinced by the reliability and openness of the M1 system.
