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.

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.

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.
