About Eberhard AG
Eberhard AG is a company in automation and assembly technology founded in 1964, headquartered in Schlierbach (Baden-Württemberg). The company develops and manufactures automation systems for the industrial series production of connectors, printed circuit boards and electronic components – from the ergonomic manual workstation via stand-alone individual modules to fully automated, customized production systems. The systems are based on modular building-block platforms: rotary indexing systems, linear transfer systems, workpiece carrier circulation systems, robot cells and intelligent manual workstations. Eberhard integrates loading, assembly and testing technologies into seamless production processes, including feeding, loading, bending, assembly, testing, marking, cleaning, injection molding and packaging. Its customers are tier-1 suppliers to the automotive industry as well as manufacturers of electromechanical components for industrial automation, telecom and data communication, consumer electronics, and pharmaceutical and medical technology. Around 300 employees support projects from planning through to operation, complemented by worldwide customer support, retrofit/upgrading of existing systems and assistance with automation-friendly product design.
