BALANCING HERITAGE AND PROGRESS
Company History
The roots of the Boyke-Group go back to 1881 with the founding of Viebahn Maschinenfabrik, specializing in press engineering. The group's extrusion expertise also has a long-standing tradition through Maschinenbau Heilsbronn GmbH. In 2003, Hans-Peter Boyke laid the foundation for today’s group by acquiring EST-Ingenieur Gesellschaft and starting the company with just three employees.
From the very beginning, flexibility and strong customer service shaped the company's success – qualities that soon earned it the nickname „Schneckenfeuerwehr“ (screw task force). An early focus on customer-oriented solutions, such as the repair of through-hardened screws and the development of wear-resistant screw designs, laid the groundwork for continuous growth.
