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.
-
1964: Incorporation 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.
-
1964–1968: Early Partnerships and Expansion
-
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.

1974: Headquarters Relocation to Deer Park, NY

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.

1974–1986: Growth through Relocation and Acquisitions
-
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.
-
1987–1994: Formation of Holding Company and Further Expansion

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.
-
1998–2005: Restructuring, Ownership Changes, and Renaming
-
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.

Dürr Group increases its production and IT capacities in India
Bietigheim-Bissingen, Darmstadt, March 14, 2023 — Schenck RoTec, a German mechanical engineering company within the Dürr Group, has extended its business location in Noida near Delhi, India. The new building complex hosts a production area to expand Schenck’s balancing business, as well as offices to strengthen the global IT capacity of the Dürr Group. The investment volume amounts to €5.5 million.
In his address at the opening ceremony with around 350 guests and employees, Dietmar Heinrich, CFO of Dürr AG, emphasized: “We see tremendous growth potential in India. In the years to come, India will play an even more important role for the Dürr Group than is already the case today.”
Schenck RoTec can look back on a long history in India. The company has been developing and manufacturing balancing machines at this location for the local market since 1986. Since 2020, Schenck India also operates as a center of competence for tire and wheel assembly machines to additionally serve the global market. An IT area including a software development center is also based at this site. To date, around 225 employees have been working on 12,500 m2 (134,548 ft2) in Noida. The extension now makes it possible to hire additional IT specialists and increase the production capacity of the Tire & Wheel business.
The new building complex is 200 meters (656 feet) away from the existing site. 3,900 m2 (35,521 ft2) of the total surface of approximately 5,600 m2 (60,278 ft2) are dedicated to Tire & Wheel manufacturing. “Schenk India is a key pillar of our international business, boasting experienced, highly motivated employees. I’m convinced that the new production hall is a major milestone on our path toward further global growth”, stresses Jörg Brunke, CEO of the Measuring and Process Systems Division of the Dürr Group, of which Schenck RoTec is part.
The remaining approximately 1,700 m2 (24,756 ft2) of the new building provide space for the IT area and the software development center with around 80 employees. The department is expected to grow to a total of 100 employees by the end of this year. The modern premises are designed for cooperative and creative collaboration. The development of IT competence is part of the digitalization strategy of the Dürr Group.
