The history
Flexibility for over 100 years
At Supfina, it is in our tradition to respond to customer needs and market changes. For this reason, the company’s history is not stationary, but reflects the flexibility with regard to market requirements that characterizes the company to this day. Supfina’s origins stem from two companies. In 1903, brothers Albin and Bruno Grieshaber founded a craftsman’s business in the Black Forest, from which the company “Grieshaber Drehteile” in Wolfach emerged. In Remscheid, the Bergische Werkzeugfabrik has been owned by the Hentzen family since 1910.While the manufacturing program in Remscheid has developed over the years from tools to machine construction and eventually to superfinishing technology, the Grieshaber family also recognized the market opportunities, discontinued the construction of lathes and gears and also concentrated on superfinishing machines.
The “Supfina” brand is born
In 1951 the Remscheid-based company changed its name to “Supfina – Wieck und Hentzen” – derived from “Superfinish”. The brand “Supfina” is born!
New applications, new markets
True to its tradition of constantly adapting to changing markets, Supfina has broadened its horizons into the 21st century. Applications for surface grinding, fine grinding and belt grinding have been added. As a full-range supplier, Supfina not only automates its own equipment with clever systems, but also integrates value-adding and upstream and downstream processes.
With this experience, highly modularized and flexible manufacturing solutions are now being created for a wide range of industries worldwide.
