History

Scheidt & Bachmann was founded in Mönchengladbach as an offene Handelsgesellschaft (general partnership) in 1872 by Friedrich Scheidt and Carl Bachmann (bestowed the honorary doctor title upon signalling systems in 1930). The initial workforce comprised 8 employees9. The main products of the first years were textile machines and steam-engines. In 1875 the first mechanical signalling equipment was developed. In 1885 Friedrich Scheidt left the company, so Carl Bachmann remained as the only entrepreneur.

The first patent was granted in 1896 for a “drive unit for barriers” ^[6]

In 1914 Scheidt & Bachmann moved to larger premises in Rheydt (nowadays a district of Mönchengladbach) and extended the manufacturing. At that time the workforce had reached 500 employees.

After World War II Scheidt & Bachmann had to restore the company with only 100 of the original 1000 employees.

In the meantime for almost 30 years Scheidt & Bachmann has been an AG - Aktiengesellschaft (public limited company). In 1963 this changed to a GmbH - Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (company with limited liability) which lasts until today.

The microprocessor technology has been established in the 1960’s and marked the beginning of the software development at Scheidt & Bachmann.

This was followed by the establishment of service operations for hardware and software whereby Scheidt & Bachmann became a full service provider.

In 2019 Scheidt & Bachmann has more than 3.000.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
