About Eickhoff

The Eickhoff Group is a globally active, family-owned company headquartered in Bochum, founded in 1864. Its core business is the manufacture of machines and gearboxes that have proven themselves under extreme conditions: as gearboxes for wind turbines, in bogies for rail vehicles, in mining machinery for the resource-efficient extraction of raw materials such as potash and fertilizers, and in applications such as sluices and industrial plants. More than 10,000 Eickhoff wind turbine gearboxes with an installed capacity of 23 gigawatts are in operation worldwide. The Group comprises several operating companies under the umbrella of the holding Gebr. Eickhoff Maschinenfabrik u. Eisengießerei GmbH, including divisions for drive technology, mining technology and its own iron foundry. Production takes place in iron and cast components and in steel as well as in gearbox assembly; deliveries are made worldwide.
