Frielinghaus
Frielinghaus - the company history
Frielinghaus GmbH is a traditional manufacturer of mower blades and agricultural machinery parts based in Ennepetal in North Rhine-Westphalia. The company's history dates back to 1867. It was in this year that the sheep shear smith Carl Theodor Frielinghaus set up his own business, laying the foundations for today's company.
As early as 1905, harvesting machine parts were added to the Frielinghaus programme, laying the foundations for the current production. In the 1960s, Frielinghaus began a process of modernisation and expansion. New buildings with modern production facilities gradually replaced the existing inventory. The company gradually grew and further expanded its product range. As part of this expansion, companies or parts of companies of other brands are also taken over. In 1993, various cutting technologies from BUSATIS, Hückeswagen were taken over by Frielinghaus and ESM Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik. Both companies benefit from these takeovers and continue to expand their production in the direction of professional mower knives and mower knife blades. In 2014, Frielinghaus GmbH takes over Härtetechnik Steinbach KG in Wuppertal as a wholly owned subsidiary.
