Main plant in Klosterreichenbach



Today's company was founded by Ernst Kallfass Senior and his wife Frida as a machine and apparatus construction company.
 





Establishment in Wernigerode

In the beginning, repair work was performed in particular for the local wood-working industry.

Already in the late 60s, KALLFASS was among the first to built one of the first stackers for sawn timber.

In 1975, Ernst Kallfass, the founder's son entered the company, and in 1984, the company was handed over to him.
Under his management, manufacturing was rationalised, products were further developed and the existing single machines and conveyors combined to complete manufacturing systems.

From this time onwards, the growing trend of performing pallet wood cuts straight to the sawmills opens up this clientele for flexible cross-cut, stacking and sorting machines.
With the efficiency of the machine systems being above the average, the constantly increasing requirement profile in the wood-working industry due to further technological developments has always been met in all respects.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, another production plant was opened in Werningrode/Harz in 1993.

In 1999, the company celecbrated its 50th anniversary.

Currently, KALLFASS has approx. 70 employees.
