About us
What we stand for
We combine economic efficiency with sustainability.
Balancing means high productivity, long service life and lived sustainability. Because precisely balanced parts work more efficiently, thus saving valuable resources. This applies equally to precision dental turbines or car steering wheels, aircraft engines or power plant turbines.
We take this responsibility very seriously and guarantee uncompromising quality, sustainable solutions and comprehensive service throughout the entire service life of your product.
We develop unique balancing solutions
What makes us particularly proud: our solutions for all components and armatures are globally unique. We offer balancing machines and software solutions for all weight classes and every size – from wheel assembly to diagnosis technology, from the repair workshop to mass production.
In combination with our experience from nearly 150 years of company history and our sites in 54 countries all over the world, this makes us the leading partner for industry and the skilled trades.

Our history
From pioneer to global player
History of Schenck USA corp.
Schenck was founded in Darmstadt, Germany in 1881 as a manufacturer of scales and weighing devices and soon became a pioneer in dynamic balancing and testing equipment. After World War II, Schenck was represented in the United States by Cosa Corporation, a machine tool importing company. In 1964, Schenck discontinued the cooperation with Cosa, and incorporated in New York as Schenck Machinery , U.S.,Inc.
Schenck is expanding its portfolio for the tire industry
Schenck is going one step further in the industry of measuring and balancing technology for tire production. The Japanese joint venture Nagahama Seisakusho is now pooling the technologies for the final quality process step. The joint venture acquired the technology for tire uniformity testing from Kobe Steel Ltd. The two companies have been working together in this segment for 20 years. Nagahama supplied the balancing technology and Kobe Steel the tire uniformity systems and mechanical engineering. They are now combining their expertise in Nagahama Seisakusho.
Jörg Brunke, the CEO of Carl Schenck AG, sees major prospects in this step:
“In acquiring the technology of Kobe Steel Ltd., we are emphasising our technological leadership and thus opening up further market segments in the tire industry. Kobe Steel measurement and testing technology has an excellent reputation, particularly on the Asian market. We will replicate this success by exploiting our global sales and service organisation. This profitable growth is also supported by our global production and engineering locations”.
