Burkhardt Gets Arbes

BAYREUTH, Germany – Burkhardt GmbH added to its company in December with ARBES Maschinenfabrik KG in Kreuztal-Krombach/Germany.
The move adds another brand for Burkhardt, which already produces Hensel Maschinen, Carl Meyer and Schlatter products.
A close cooperation with Mr. Eckhard Arbes ensures the continuation of competent service to all ARBES customers in Germany as well as in the international market. The take-over of Schlatter in 2004 is the basis for a quick and smooth integration of the ARBES business into Burkhardt activities.
With the purchase of the ARBES know-how, Burkhardt aims to offer its customers the most advanced range of modern saws, polishing machines and CNC machining centers. High Tech Stone Inc. of Elberton, Ga., Burkhardt’s representative in the United States, will be introducing ARBES technology to the U.S. market.
Burkhardt GmbH divisions include stone processing machines, eccentric presses, and metal casting.
