History
The company was founded in Rönkhausen in 1951 by Heinrich Eibach, who died in 1967; his son Wilfried Eibach then took over management with Walter Korte. Until the 1970s, only industrial springs were manufactured. The chassis technology division was founded in 1975, and Eibach Oberflächentechnik (EOT) was established in 1981. In 2000, the Eibach Group was restructured under Eibach AG. A new 10,000 square meter production plant was built at the Finnentrop headquarters in 2013/14. The company entered the aftermarket in 2016. Today, Eibach has production plants in Germany, the United States, and China, with subsidiaries on five continents, supplying customers in 80 countries.
