Information About

Orenstein And Koppel Gmbh




Originally a general engineering company, O&K soon started to specialise in the manufacture of Railway vehicles. The company's other specialisms included Heavy Equipment and Escalator s.

O&K pulled out of the railway business in 1981 , and sold its escalator manufacturing division to the Kone Corporation of Finland in 1996 , leaving the company to focus primarily on construction machines.

The construction machine business was eventually sold to the FIAT Group. The closure of the Berlin factory is imminent (2006).
