Our history

Siegfried Friedhoff

Company founder

Passed away in 2018

1958

In 1958 this family run business was founded. Its origin was wholesale with spare and wearing parts for vehicles and construction and agricultural machines. In the added-on workshop, the flames-spray-technique and powder-coating-technique were being developed and used as a wear-resistant layer on various construction pieces. Since the beginning, flight augers, auger heads and attachments were developed and manufactured.

1977

The new buildings are set on the green.

1981

This led to the foundation of the company ABF–technik with its main focus on drilling techniques. Due to the high craftsmanship of the employees, the company grew continuously. Regarding Mr. Siegfried Friedhoff´s far-sightedness and the quality of the products, the company became well known in all parts of Germany and in foreign countries.

1997

Due to lack of space, all production halls and offices were considerably expanded. The ABF-technik doubled their production area.

2000

After the last production hall expansion in the year 2000 the potentially dynamic company ABF-technik is situated on 25.000 m2 of which 8.500 m2 are buildings. At the present time 150 employees are working in administration, construction, work preparation and production. These people are the ones who guarantee the quality and on schedule production of our products.

2007

Due to excellent order situation, ABF reaches their limit of capacities. The company decides to build a new production hall. Summer 2007 is the big move. The production now takes place in a 30% larger production facility.

2017

As a result of the positive economic situation and changing product groups, a move to a larger production hall with administrative building was due in 2017. The production area was increased by approx. 30% and optimal possibilities were created.

2024

Since the beginning of 2024, two highly experienced managing directors have been at the helm of ABF-technik. Markus Otten and Dirk Wohlfahrt are contributing their more than 20 years of expertise in contract manufacturing, mechanical engineering and CNC production to strengthen the future of the company. The workforce has been growing steadily since the beginning of the year. Nothing now stands in the way of further growth at ABF-technik.
