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 Machinery was established in the USA as an independent company in 1964. In the same year, Schenck began collaborating with Micro Balancing, a balancing machine manufacturer founded in 1946, which supported Schenck in daily operations.

After acquiring the assets of Micro Balancing in 1967, Schenck merged both companies into Schenck Manufacturing Corporation. One year later, in 1968, Schenck acquired the German company Trebel, originally founded in 1910 as a grinding wheel manufacturer and later specialized in balancing machines. This acquisition led to the formation of Schenck Trebel Corporation (STC) with headquarters in Farmingdale, New York.

In 1974, Schenck Trebel Corporation relocated its headquarters from Farmingdale to its current location in Deer Park, New York. This move marked an important milestone in the company's development.

In the following years, Schenck continued its expansion strategy in the USA. In 1984, Turner Brothers Incorporated from Lake Orion, Michigan, was acquired and renamed Schenck Turner Inc. This company specialized in balancing systems for the automotive industry. Two years later, in 1986, the Pegasus Company from Troy, Michigan, was acquired and became Schenck Pegasus Corporation, manufacturing testing equipment for the automotive sector.

In 1987, Schenck Corporation (SCO) was established as a holding company to consolidate all North American operations. The offices remained in the Schenck Trebel building in Deer Park, NY. Under SCO, Schenck Trebel, Schenck Turner, and Schenck Pegasus were united. In 1994, SCO acquired Schenck Accurate (SAR) from Whitewater, Wisconsin. Since then, the company has grown from a small manufacturer to a major supplier of conveying and measuring technology, including volumetric and gravimetric feeders, Coriolis flow meters, and other specialized systems.

 

In 1998, Carl Schenck AG in Germany underwent a comprehensive restructuring and founded the Schenck RoTec GmbH division, which consolidated all balancing and diagnostic activities. In 1999, Interautomation Inc. from Oakville, Ontario, Canada, became part of the Schenck Group, specializing in engine and vehicle test systems. In the same year, Dürr AG from Stuttgart acquired Carl Schenck AG in Darmstadt, Germany. In 2003, Schenck Turner was renamed Schenck RoTec Corporation and moved its balancing service operations to Troy, Michigan. Further relocations in Michigan followed in 2010 (Auburn Hills) and 2016 (Southfield). In 2005, Dürr AG sold the Development Test Systems Group, including Schenck Pegasus and Interautomation, to Horiba (Japan), as well as the Measuring and Process Technology Group, including Schenck Accurate, to a German private equity firm.

In 2017, Schenck expanded its capabilities by acquiring a consulting and testing service provider with complementary expertise in various industries. This acquisition strengthened Schenck USA's position as a versatile provider of testing and consulting services.

 

The strategic consolidation continued in 2020 with the completion of the merger of all US Schenck entities into Schenck USA Corporation. This step was part of the "ONE Schenck USA" strategy, aiming to combine strengths in North America, leverage synergies, and create a unified market presence.

Schenck ONE Modernization Package - The step into the digital future for older machines

We are pleased to present a remarkable development in our portfolio: The Schenck ONE Modernization Package now makes it possible to equip older balancing machines with state-of-the-art technology. This step is significant as it ensures that even after decades of operation, our machines can be brought up to date and made fit for the digital future.

Machines from the H2 to H90 series in particular, some of which have been in operation for up to 40 years, can benefit from this upgrade. It offers the opportunity to extend the service life and performance of existing systems, improve user-friendliness and implement digital processes. At the same time, thanks to the installation of a modern IoT gateway, Schenck ONE's cloud solutions are now also available to our existing customers.

In addition to the Modernization Package for existing machines, the latest Schenck ONE release includes a number of other features that optimize the performance and user-friendliness of the software. For example, customers can now manage, create and delete their user profiles independently by an administrator, which optimizes the management of access rights. Language settings for Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese have also been added so that the software can now be used by native speakers in other parts of the world. In addition, the display of the measured unbalance in three levels, manual speed control by the machine operator and a combination of advanced measurement settings have been implemented.

We are proud to continuously work on the further development of Schenck ONE in order to always offer our customers first-class and innovative solutions.
