Innovation & Flexibility
About us
When eepos was founded in 2006 by Friedhelm Mücher, Klaus Bellingroth, Timo Koch, and Armin Mücher, the goal was to create consistently ergonomic workplaces. At that time, Friedhelm Mücher had already been working in the crane industry for over 20 years and had identified a unique niche that eepos could fill with its Products. He envisioned crane systems that would run absolutely smoothly, based on a modular principle, and made entirely of aluminum for weight reasons.
Smooth-running and jam-free aluminum cranes
eepos developed a modular system that is extremely smooth-running, absolutely jam-free, extremely low-maintenance and extremely durable. The first modular crane system made entirely of aluminum with a load capacity of up to 2 t was created and named eepos one. was presented with great success at the MOTEK trade fair. Customers from the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors were impressed by the smooth operation and flexibility of the eepos systems. Within just a few years, the eepos one aluminum modular system established itself as a new quasi-standard for light crane systems up to 2 t.
ISO9001 certified since 2008
eepos made the decision early on to align its quality management with ISO 9001. The initial certification in 2008 served as proof of eepos' consistently customer-oriented working and production methods in Wiehl. The recertification took place in 2015 and remains valid to this day.
After individual workstations were initially equipped with eepos systems, the company was awarded the contract to supply light crane systems for the entire Audi A3 production at the AUDI Győr factory in Hungary.
This project served as both a confirmation of our capabilities and an incentive to become even stronger and more innovative. In the first few years, eepos grew to over 60 employees.
In the following years, eepos consistently further developed its products. Today, the aluminum lifting axle is part of eepos move, as well as the rail system for workplace equipment the eepos nano, eepos base energy columns and the BOK system eepos line.
