The story

The company was founded in 1938 by Berthold Hermle as a screw factory and turned-parts shop in Gosheim. Milling-machine production began in 1957. The first universal tool milling machine was presented in 1972, followed by CNC-controlled machines in 1978. In 1990 the business was converted into a stock corporation and went public. In 2019-2020 Hermle expanded its manufacturing footprint by investing about €15 million in a new sheet-metal production facility at Zimmern ob Rottweil, and in 2020 Hermle USA completed about $3 million extension of its North American headquarters in Franklin, Wisconsin.
