Krebs employs approx 200 people is constantly introducing new types of wheels with improved grain structures and novel bonding systems that enhance grinding wheel quality and optimise performance. One area where Krebs & Riedel excels in is the supply of special wheels for gear and thread grinding applications and special wheels are available to suit machines manufactured by Gleason-Pfauter, Oerlikon, Kapp- Niles, Hofler, Maag, Samputensili and Reishauer etc. Krebs is also a member of the “Gear Research Circle” at Aachen University and is heavily involved in developing advanced wheels for the latest production technologies employed by leaders in the field of gear manufacture.
