History

In 1948, Dipl.-Ing. Friedhelm STÜWE founded the "Maschinenfabrik STÜWE" in Sprockhövel as a crane and steel production business.
Time and again innovative products were launched in order to form a broad and solid basis for the future of the company.

In 1967, the first shrink disc was developed, allowing an easy mechanical joining of shaft and hub. This new type of machine element went down on specialist literature as the "STÜWE Scheibe" (the STÜWE disc). Further innovative products followed.

Meanwhile STUEWE is considered to be the expert when it comes to frictional connections.
A constant growth required an enlargement of the company, which led to the company’s relocation to Hattingen/Ruhr in 1964.

Today, the second generation family business is run by Hartwig and Detlef Stüwe .
