BACK TO THE BEGINNINGSERDRICH Umformtechnik has been active in the market for almost 50 years.

Background, noteworthy events, developments at a glance - 1962 to present. 1962 Rolf Sander and Adolf Hättig lay the cornerstone for SANDER Umformtechnik GmbH & Co. KG. 1963+ In the first few years, the company produced mainly cutting and stamping tools for non-cutting sheet metal shaping. It then began to also fabricate stamped and bent parts in series. 1975 Because of the growth of the company, the headquarters are moved from Oberkirch to Renchen-Ulm and the products are divided into the segments of tool building and automation, stamping and bending, deep drawing, fine blanking and component fabrication. In years following, SANDER Umformtechnik is recognized for its quality products, making a name for itself as a high-performance supplier primarily to the automobile industry. 1979 The subsidiary SANDER Automation GmbH is founded, with headquarters in Renchen. Shortly thereafter, the first SANDER transfer devices are running off the assembly line. At the same time, the parent company SANDER Umformtechnik begins with the development and manufacture of smaller units with mid-range production stroke rates for sheet shaping. 1992 Under the direction of Georg Erdrich, an additional subsidiary is founded, EUT Erdrich Umformtechnik GmbH & CO. KG, in the city of Sömmerda (State of Thuringia) which itself enjoys a long tradition of metal processing. 1995 Further developments in SANDER transfer units allow for the devices to be used in hot and warm forging of metals. 2002 Erdrich Umformtechnik GmbH & Co. KG becomes an independent company. , Nicolas und Georg Erdrich, proprietors. The company belongs to the SANDER Group, alongside SANDER Umformtechnik. Concurrently, the production capacity of steel brake pistons is increased to approximately eight million.

Capacity thereby doubles to 17 million pieces. Sander Automation GmbH becomes independent and the third member of the SANDER Group next to SANDER Umformtechnik and Erdrich Umformtechnik. 2006 In Krnov (Czech Republic) a fabrication plant is built, which has since housed the world’s most modern brake piston manufacturing. 2010 A subsidiary in China opens. 2011 SANDER Group is reconfigured.
