O&K Antriebstechnik GmbH Information

With over 130 years of history, O&K Antriebstechnik is today a centre of excellence, at the worldwide level, for high quality "made in Germany" mechanical components for various application segments. The origins of the company date back to the founders, Benno Orenstein and Arthur Koppel, who at the end of the 19th century began - in the middle of the Ruhr - to develop railway systems for foundries and mines. Step by step, O&K became the benchmark for heavy duty machines and the best-known brand in the world for the design and manufacture of excavators and mining shovels. Within this context, the Antriebstechnik Division has always represented the technological hub of all machine applications, and still today O&KA is recognised by its customers for its solid expertise, for its significant ability in adapting design solutions to meet different requirements, as well as for the excellent quality of its products.
