The company history of the Dr. Schulze GmbH started in 1981, as Dr. Reiner Schulze, later founder of the company, published scientific and practical investigations in the subject of cutting of hard minerals within the scope of his dissertation at the University of Hannover. As a result of his experience, extensive technical knowledge and his vision of a comprehensive, customer-oriented service in the field of diamond technology, he founded the company Dr. Schulze in Wilnsdorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. Since 1986, the company has been operating as a LTD (GmbH).

In order to keep up with the rapidly growing sales, a new production facility was constructed in Lueneburg in 1989, where an almost fully automated high volume production for diamond segments and production lines for laser-welded tools were commissioned.

The takeover of a manufacturing plant in Gommern (near Magdeburg in the former GDR) for special mining tools strengthened our position in the eastern part of Germany and ensured a further expansion of our range. The company achieved the highest level of manufacturing flexibility through the installation of a complete production line for steel cores (bodies for diamond cutting blades). This enabled us to supply nearly any special specification of diamond tools according to individual customer demands within shortest period of time.

Beginning from 1994 the comprehensive diamond tool range was extended by the first machines from our own production, so that we could offer our customers a complete solution in diamond technology. Since that time our range of machines has been continuously expanded and improved.

Our mechanical engineering competence was strenghthened once again in 2002 by acquiring the Meissner Maschinenbau GmbH, which was located near Cologne and had been well known as an expert manufacturer of high quality machines for particulary demanding cutting and drilling applications since 1979.

Thanks to a wide product range of Meissner machines, as well as the unique "Kombi system", which combines standard components to nearly any gadget for challenging cutting and drilling jobs, our company can serve customers with solutions for their individual problems.
