How it all began.
HISTORY
1990
The founding
A student idea became reality: Martin Rumpf and Ralf Thorwesten founded the company THORWESTEN. Their first product—a sunroof for cars—marked the beginning of a successful company history.
1999
Profile machining center. PBZ.
With the expansion of its machine portfolio with the new PBZ product, a new business area opened up for THORWESTEN. This marked the beginning of innovative solutions in a new market segment.
2003
Double miter saw. DGS.
The company developed the double-cut miter saw (DGS) – its second major product. This solution set new standards in precision window manufacturing.
2005
New office building
The construction of the new office building created space for additional employees. It offers modern workplaces, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and improved spatial conditions for employees and visitors.
2007
Expansion of production
As part of the capacity expansion, the production area was significantly enlarged through the construction of a new hall. The total area increased by 1,600 square meters, from the previous 1,000 square meters to a total of 2,600 square meters. This laid the foundation for more efficient production and future growth.
2008
Automatic sawing center. ASZ.
With the AZS, THORWESTEN presented its third product. It replaced the DGS and impressed with improved technology and efficiency – a significant step in the further development of the company's portfolio.
2015
Realignment of the management level
Martin Rumpf took over sole management after Ralf Thorwesten left the company, thus initiating the next phase of corporate management.
2020
The next generation
Luca Rumpf, Martin Rumpf's son, joined the company. With his mechanical engineering degree and an MBA with a focus on business management, he brings fresh impetus to strategic development, internal projects, marketing, and human resources. Martin Rumpf remains responsible for design and new developments.
2024
Enclosure and enlargement of machining
With the relocation of production to the new production hall, important structural changes were implemented. At the same time, the machining and assembly areas were significantly expanded. The expanded space creates optimal conditions for improved processes, increased production capacity, and future developments within the company.
