2020 until today
2023
Capacity expansion through the acquisition of STABO Stahlbau Boschgotthardshütte GmbH.
2022
Introduction of a new ERP system for centralised data collection, administration and order processing.
2021
Production starts in the new hall at the Anzhausen site.
2020
A new production hall is being built at our main site in Anzhausen. In order to further increase our efficiency and effectiveness, we manufacture our series vessels in the new hall with new machinery and absolutely optimised production processes.
2010 to 2019
2016
A new roller moves into Hall 5 in Wilnsdorf-Wilden. This can bend a clear diameter of 410 mm with a wall thickness of 70 mm over 3 metres. We also acquire a 3D pipe cutting machine and automatic submerged-arc machines with two-wire technology for welding.
2015
We invest in a new roller in Wilnsdorf-Wilden, which can process steel with a wall thickness of 125 mm over a length of 3 metres to a light diameter of 580 mm. We also acquire a 2D CNC flame cutting machine with oxyfuel and plasma processes.
2011
The relocation of the administration from Wilden to Anzhausen changes the location of the company. This consolidation brings the main production facility and administration together in one compact location. The new, modern office building has a clear, uncluttered appearance thanks to its linear shape and its bright atmosphere with high-quality office furnishings ensures pleasant workplaces.
2010
The expansion of the company at the Anzhausen site leads to a reorganisation of the production process. The entire series production, as well as incoming goods and goods inspection, are relocated to the new site. In order to expand our vertical range of manufacture, we start surface treatment and paint our vessels ourselves for the first time. Prefabrication, rolling and longitudinal seam moulding remain in Wilden.
2000 to 2009
2008
Eferest GmbH continues to grow. We build a second production hall in Anzhausen. Special solutions and high-pressure vessels are manufactured in this hall. At the same time, Eferest GmbH continues to develop on the international markets. The ASME VIII, Div.2 and SELO China certifications provide the best conditions for the company's expansion.
2007
A further production facility is set up at the Wilnsdorf-Anzhausen site for series production.
2006
One-off production is modernised. Eferest GmbH produces the first high-pressure tanks with over 350 bar, later with 1000 bar. We also implement production with stainless steel in our product range.
2004
Our series production is revolutionised by robot-assisted production.
2003
A new chapter begins. Firstly, the change of name to Eferest GmbH. Secondly, with the construction of the new production hall 5, which makes it possible to separate individual and series production for the first time. In addition, heat treatment and hot forming are added to the product portfolio.
2002
Eferest Stahlblechbau GmbH records another success with the certification according to ASME VIII, Div.1.
2000
The administration building in Wilnsdorf-Wilden is remodelled and extended.
1990 to 1999
1997
Eferest Stahlblechbau GmbH reaches new heights and is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 for the first time.
1996
A milestone. Eferest Stahlblechbau GmbH has entered the production of high-pressure vessels up to 120 bar.
1995
The extension to Hall 4 expands the production area. The production programme is expanded to include pressure vessels for shipbuilding, and Eferest Stahlblechbau GmbH has also acquired its first international approvals.
1994
Production of individual pressure vessels is started in Hall 1. The production programme in the area of pipe components is improved and expanded.
1993
Ulrich Blaschke joined the company on 1 April 1993 at the age of 29, immediately after completing his studies. He restructures the company and creates a future-oriented perspective by shutting down the steel construction division and focussing on special tank manufacturing, raw mould construction and high-pressure vessels.
1939 to 1989
1983
EFEREST Stahlblechbau GmbH is founded and moves from Kreuztal-Ferndorf to Wilnsdorf-Wilden.
1958
Change of name to EFEREST Apparatebau und Schweißwerk Fritz Stötzel OHG.
1950
The name EFEREST Stahlblechbau OHG is created from the first two initials of the founder Fritz Stötzel.
1939
The company Stötzel & Rath is founded on 27 February 1939 by the Stötzel and Rath families in Kreuztal-Ferndorf for the manufacture of sheet metal products and welding. Initial products were welded parts for wood gas generators, pipes and piping for furnaces, accessories for concrete mixers, agricultural equipment such as ploughs, rollers etc. as well as air tanks and steel boilers.
