Bornkampsweg/Ruhrstraße industrial area

The mechanical engineering company KROENERT GmbH & Co KG moved to its present premises in Hamburg-Altona shortly after its foundation in 1905. Here, KROENERT manufactures turnkey plants in the field of coating technology for web-shaped materials such as foil, paper and film. To this day, the RECO series is the most widely built and most versatile machine type and is characterized by its modular character and flexible line configuration - changes of coating materials or working width can be easily adapted. The main components of KROENERT lines are applicators, dryers, unwinders and rewinders, each module is also available separately. Since 2003, KROENERT has been united with two other medium-sized mechanical engineering companies, COATEMA and DRYTEC, under the roof of Altonaer Technologie Holding (ATH). In the fields of coating, printing and drying technology, they each occupy a leading position worldwide in their respective fields.

ZAE can look back on over 100 years of company history. In 1919, the gear cutting department was spun off from the sister company KROENERT and thus became an independent company, Zahnradfabrik Altona-Elbe Hans Meyer Kommanditgesellschaft. In 1982, the company premises were expanded, and between 2003 and 2008, a great many of the group's buildings were renovated during ongoing operations. Today, the ZAE plant in Hamburg-Altona produces industrial gear units and geared motors for a wide range of applications on a production area of 5,600 square meters. The product range focuses on servo and bevel gear units as well as gear motors and worm gear sets. Through modification of existing gear units or customized manufacturing, individual drive solutions are offered to companies worldwide from the packaging and food industry, automation and stage technology, but also the pharmaceutical industry including medical technology as well as steel and sheet metal processing.

KONTEK was founded in 1969 by the businessman Johannes Pieper in Hamburg. The name is a neologism of confectionery and technology, because at first the company supplied bakeries and confectioners with equipment and machines, later also the gastronomy. Over time, KONTEK, which currently employs more than 20 people, has developed into a specialist company for stainless steel processing, with services in the areas of development, planning, production and assembly. The range of services extends from small parts for food production, carpentry and furniture parts to complete store fittings. The product range consists of products that can be manufactured and adapted in the company's own workshop, as well as equipment for kitchen, snack and bakery equipment from almost all manufacturers. The company also cooperates for orders as a subcontractor or "integrated consultant" with joineries, interior designers and building construction companies.
