1966
Max Dörr Conveying Systems was founded
In 1966, Max Albert Dörr took a risk and decided to set up his own independent company: Max Dörr Conveying Systems. The company started life with just one other employee, in a former dairy in the village of Richen in Heilbronn.
1968
The move to Gemmingen
As the company expanded and gained more employees, more space was needed. Therefore we built and moved into our first manufacturing hall in Gemmingen, near Heilbronn.
1970
Ascending conveyor for Palmbräu
Our first orders came from our region. For example, the solution we came up with for loading crates of beverages for the local brewery in Eppingen.
1979
Expansion of the manufacturing area
An increase in turnover and rising demand for ever larger and larger systems led to the construction of another manufacturing hall.
1990
Automation solutions for global stakeholders
Numerous renowned corporations, such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank and many more, rely on the high level of customization and flexibility in our broad range of products. Shown here: pallet conveying technology with telescopic fork lift unit for Bosch.
