KELLER - Innovation by tradition since 1894!

KELLER was founded in 1894. At that time, the Laggenbeck mechanic Carl Keller developed the finger car, which represented the beginning of automation in the brick industry. With further groundbreaking inventions, KELLER became the global technology leader in the heavy clay industry in the 20th century. Today, KELLER is a division of the French industrial group ‘Groupe Legris Industries’ and employs 350 people at two sites at Ibbenbüren-Laggenbeck and Mellrichstadt.

Based on the core business of the KELLER Division, solutions have also been developed for other branches of industry, resulting in further business areas, which today are presented as follows:
