Eickhoff is a family-owned company rooted in Bochum, Germany since its founding in 1864. The Eickhoff Group comprises several operational companies under the roof of one family-managed holding, Gebr. Eickhoff Maschinenfabrik u. Eisengießerei GmbH. The company's gearbox history began underground: from the start, Eickhoff developed compact gearboxes for its mining machines for the hardest operating conditions. Over time, Eickhoff engineers transferred this experience to other application areas, up to the future field of wind power gearboxes, for which a separate subsidiary, Eickhoff Wind Power GmbH, was established. The company has been part of its region for around 160 years.
