Timeline Stories

Leben-Dämpfungstechnik GmbH was founded in November 1967 as a construction office with its own sales department, originally as "Leben & Co GmbH". The development of snow groomers for ski runs was at the forefront at the time. Their production was licensed.

Rebranding from "Leben & Co GmbH" to "Leben-Dämpfungstechnik GmbH"

Already in 2007, the production area was increased by 50 percent and put into operation in time for the 40th anniversary of Leben-Dämpfungstechnik GmbH.

In 2019 a further hall was finally added to create a total usable area of 3,500 m² of offices, production and storage space. This workshop increases the production area by a further 50 percent and has been equipped with state-of-the-art technology. These include the WFL M40, a multifunctional turning, drilling & milling centre for complete machining of complex chuck and shaft parts up to a swing diameter of 670 mm and a centre distance of 4500 mm.

After Kögel moved into a new building in 1999, the rooms that became available and the complete assembly department were taken over by Leben-Dämpfungstechnik GmbH. However, these premises were soon no longer sufficient and a new building was planned, which was ready for occupation in 2003.

In January 1990, the damping technology division was purchased from AROS GmbH. The individual parts were manufactured by suppliers and the assembly was carried out by Kögel in Schwabsoien.
