Elb-Kehren GmbH, a specialist in precision grinding technologies, has announced a restructure to strengthen its competitiveness, quality, and customer service by consolidating its manufacturing operations in Germany.
The company has decided to end manufacturing at its Aschaffenburg site and transfer operations to its facility in Troisdorf. Research and development, sales and service, and administrative functions will remain in Aschaffenburg, ensuring continuity and retention of core expertise.
The decision reflects changing global market requirements and the need to position ELB-KEHREN as a long-term partner for customers. By combining resources into a single integrated manufacturing site, the company aims to increase flexibility, sharpen operational focus, and improve cost efficiency — enhancing its ability to deliver the high quality and reliability the company is renowned for.
Dr Ing Markus Weiler, managing director of Elb-Kehren,said: “With the combined site, new opportunities will be available, and we believe that this is an opportunity for all of us. Maintaining high quality, reliability and flexibility will be important indicators for our customers.”
The restructuring process includes a reduction in the workforce at the Aschaffenburg site — ‘a difficult but necessary step’, the company acknowledged, while noting its sincere appreciation to all affected employees for their commitment and contributions.
The company views this consolidation as an investment in its future. With a clear focus on efficiency, innovation, and customer value, Elb-Kehren is confident it is well-positioned to meet the challenges of modern manufacturing and remain a trusted partner worldwide.
