In addition, the company develops power plants and process equipment for energy generation and waste heat recovery.

[3] In 1910, Wilhelm and Friedrich transferred the ownership of the metalworking shop in the historical center of Eppingen to their brother Heinrich Dieffenbacher.

Beginning in the 1950s the company set one focus amongst others on the production of particle board, veneer and plywood presses due to the boom in the wood sector.

The export business expanded rapidly beyond Europe in the 1960s with orders from countries such as the United States, Brazil, Mexico and many more.

[4] From the 1960s onward, Dieffenbacher introduced new products for the forming sector and further produced e.g. injection molding machines or presses for processing fiber-reinforced polyester plastics.

In the same year, Dieffenbacher has developed the Tailored Blank Line for the mass production of locally reinforced thermoplastic components consisting of the Fibercon and the Fiberforge.

[1] Also in January 2024, Lukas Langer, grandson of Albert Dieffenbacher, joined the management board, taking over the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

[7] The Forming division develops methods, processes and fully automated production plants for the manufacture of fiber-reinforced components.

To mass-produce carbon fiber components using the HP-RTM process, Dieffenbacher produces fully automated, ready-to-use production lines that include a Preform Center.

Dieffenbacher supplies every element for ready-to-use systems, from the hydraulic presses to the complete automation right down to components for the manufacture of semi-finished products.

To process waste wood, for example, Dieffenbacher conceive plans for entire plants, from shredding to drying, sieving and sifting to burner systems and extraction technologies.
