# Since when does Kesel exist?

## Learn more about our Kesel history here!

Georg Kesel GmbH & Co. KG was founded by Georg Kesel in Kempten in 1889. This was the beginning of today's internationally operating company, which was characterized by innovative strength from the very beginning. As early as 1939, we built the largest circular dividing machine in the world and exported machines as far as Japan.

In 1963, we developed high-pressure machine vises for the first time and began manufacturing clamping systems, which are still an integral part of our product range today.

In order to provide even better support to our customers, we founded Georg Kesel Machinery (Beijing) Co., Ltd. in China in 2011. 5 years later followed our second subsidiary in the USA, Kesel North America LLC.
