Celebrating our 300th anniversary – A remarkable journey begins

In 2025, TAKRAF Group will celebrate the incredible milestone of 300 years since its foundation in Lauchhammer in August 1725. We look forward to sharing this special year with you and will be publishing exciting facts and stories about the anniversary in the coming months.

It all began in 1725, when Baroness von Löwendal commissioned the first blast furnace in Lauchhammer, Germany, laying the foundation for an extraordinary legacy of engineering excellence and industrial innovation.  A local ironworks grew into a leading global supplier for mining, material handling, and minerals processing. 

Today, TAKRAF is strong, driven by dedicated teams around the world. Reaching 300 years is not just about looking back; it's about honoring the journey and preparing for the future.
"TAKRAF Group’s strength lies in the passion and expertise of our people across the globe. We are proud of our legacy and excited about the next chapter", says TAKRAF Group CEO Thomas Jabs. 

Join us over the next few months on an exciting journey through 300 years of company history.
