1881 Carl Schenck founded an iron foundry and weighing scales factory in Darmstadt, that went on to become Carl Schenck AG. The product range was extended in 1902 to include conveyor technology, followed in 1907 by the start of the development and production of balancing machines. At the end of the 1920s, the product range was again expanded to dynamometers and brake testing stands. Today, Carl Schenck AG is a subsidiary of the Dürr Group, which is based in Stuttgart.[1]
