Gebr. Ruberg GmbH & Co. KG

The medium-sized company was founded in 1848. Initially, it focused entirely on mill construction and primarily supplied mills and agricultural operations in the districts of Höxter, Warburg, and Paderborn. As orders started coming in from all over Germany, the second generation began to gradually expand the business. Consequently, the need for personnel continuously increased, and by the 1960s, Gebr. Ruberg, with 50 employees, was one of the largest employers in the former Nieheim district.

Today, the company manufactures special-purpose machines equipped with state-of-the-art control technology for globally operating corporations around the world, employing 55 permanent staff and ten apprentices. Production includes equipment for the food and agriculture industries, the feed and spice industries, environmental and recycling companies, the automotive and timber sectors, as well as the plastics and pharmaceutical industries.
