History



[2010]    Assumption by Alfred Kärcher – On September 1st, 2010, Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co.KG took over our company, Bernhard Ringler Apparatebau GmbH.

[2003]    Certification of the whole company in accordance with ISO 9001 : VDA 6.4

 
[1995]    Third construction phase
Construction of a new assembly hall, more capacity in the assembly/shipment departments and inspection station of an extra 600 m².
Company now has a total of approx. 2200 m² assembly, production and office space

 
[1982]    Exclusive manufacturer of suction units for the metalworking industry  Expansion of the production and warehouse capacities by a further 600 m²; the office space was also expanded by a further 200 m²

 
[1976]    Construction of the 1st production halls and warehouse building 750 m² plus extra office space
Exclusive manufacturer of suction units for the metalworking industry


[1973]    Product development of the classic chip suction unit RI 300, which combined the following advantages: Rapid cleaning, construction was ideal for industrial use, separation of chips and emulsion, return of the cooling emulsion to the machine and dumping of the chips. This invention, which set a milestone at the time, was a sales hit throughout Germany.
Today, the industrial suction unit RI 300 is still a classic among the industrial suction units and is still highly popular. The steel construction has remained and is distinguished by its sturdiness and perfect handling properties.
Soon the company was receiving enquiries for other suctioning solutions, and so, over time, the product range was broadened. The constructions were completely developed at the Ringler company and many patents and utility models were registered.


[1970]    The company was founded in Waldstetten by Mr. Bernhard Ringler as a contract production operation for welded and lathed parts in rented rooms.
The basic idea was the answer to the question: How can one clean tool machines from chips and emulsions quickly? The previous practice of sweeping the chips with a broom had the disadvantage that the emulsion was not cleared and that it was time-consuming.
