The TRUMPF Group is a German family-owned company with its head office in Ditzingen near Stuttgart. TRUMPF is one of the world's biggest providers of machine tools. With more than 60 operative subsidiaries, the TRUMPF Group is represented in all important markets worldwide. Its production facilities are based in China, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the USA.
The two divisions are combined under the umbrella of the management holding company, TRUMPF GmbH + Co. KG.: Machine Tools and Laser Technology/Electronics. In the past they sold their Medical Technology division. This sector is now a part of the Hill-Rom Holdings.
Its core business is machine tools for flexible sheet metal processing and tube processing. TRUMPF produces machines for punching and forming, laser processing, combined punch and laser processing and bending.
Power tools for cutting, joining and forming sheet metal are chiefly used in the building trade, air conditioning or recycling industry.
TRUMPF laser technology encompasses laser systems for the cutting, welding and surface treatment of three-dimensional components. The company provides high-performance CO2 lasers, rod, disk and fiber lasers, direct diode lasers, ultra-short pulse lasers, marking lasers and marking systems. The lasers are mainly used in the automotive industry and its suppliers, electronics and precision engineering, mechanical engineering, tool and mold making as well as medical technology. In May 2014, the company embarked on a joint venture with the Italian laser manufacturer Sisma, to develop 3D printers for mass production of metal components. This involves melting the metal with a laser and then building it up into a desired object layer by layer.
The electronics product pallet includes DC, high and medium frequency generators such as are needed for manufacturing flat-screen TVs, for example. They are used for inductive material heating, surface coating and surface processing via plasma technology as well as for laser excitation.
In 1923, Christian Trumpf and two partners acquired Julius Geiger GmbH, a machine shop in Stuttgart. The company manufactured flexible shafts used in metal processing machines, amongst other applications, and motor-driven hand shears for cutting sheet metal. In 1933, the company moved to the Stuttgart suburb of Weilimdorf. During World War II, TRUMPF continued with the production of electric shears and flexible shafts. The production buildings remained undamaged.
