COMPANY

At the end of the 19th century, our company was founded by Theodor Schreiber under the name of Nossener Maschinenfabrik. Later, his son took over and managed it until the fifties.

In 1958, it was passed on to the trusteeship of Papierfabrik Nossen. The company continued to manufacture gearboxes/transmissions. In the course of the industry cleanup, it became a branch of VEB ASUG Getriebewerk Penig in 1979. During that time, TGL transmissions were produced in Nossen.

On 01.07.1990, Alfred Friedrich Flender AG bought Getriebewerk Penig and therefore also the Nossen plant.

On 30.06.1991, Mr Hartmut Liefeld took over the Nossen plant and from then on continued to head it as Getriebebau Nossen. In 1994, he became owner of the company. In the time to follow, he invested in a new production hall and in the expansion of the machine fleet.

While at first the focus was on parts manufacturing, new construction and service for industrial gearboxes/transmissions increasingly gained significance later on.

In early 2005, Mr Liefeld turned 66 and, with effect from 01.08.2005, handed over the leadership of the firm to Mr Matthias Richter. Mr Richter had until then been working as Assembly Manager at Flender Getriebewerk Penig, initially in new gearbox/transmission manufacturing, and later on in the service and maintenance area of Flender Service GmbH. After the dissolution of Flender Service GmbH and the outsourcing of the respective activities to Herne in North Rhine-Westphalia, he moved to Nossen.

Building on his long-standing experience, the business area of new gearbox manufacturing and service has developed very well.

Our satisfied customers especially include companies from the mining industry, steel industry and from energy generation as well as the respective plant engineers. Besides the German-speaking countries, many of our customers come from all of Europe and beyond.

The area of energy generation from hydro and wind power has developed into a speciality for us. From this area, plant engineers and operators alike are placing their trust in gearboxes/drives/transmissions and services from Nossen. These are always custom-made special designs adapted to the respective assembly situation that we develop in our own development department.

We give our customers the opportunity to precisely analyse the state of wear of their drive/transmission. So you are able to prevent expensive downtime due to transmission/drive damages on the one hand, and reduce costs by being able to postpone general repairs when receiving positive diagnosis results on the other hand. We carry out these transmission/drive diagnostics with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.

Whether at steelwork gears in a plant or wind power drives in heady heights, we carry out the diagnostics anywhere you need us to.

Above all, our customers appreciate our speed and flexibility, as well as the competitive prices of our new drives/transmissions, repairs and spare parts.
