In 2025, TAKRAF Group celebrates a remarkable milestone: 300 years of industrial history. Our journey 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.
Over the centuries, the company has evolved from a local ironworks into a global leader in mining, material handling and minerals processing solutions. We've adapted to shifting market demands, embraced technological advancements and expanded our reach to every continent.
Today, TAKRAF Group stands strong, powered by the expertise and dedication of our teams worldwide.
"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.
Over the next few months, we will take you on a journey through our history – from our ironworks roots to becoming a key player in the global mining industry. Stay tuned as we explore the milestones that shaped TAKRAF Group into the company it is today.
