Tsubaki Europe Expands with a Manufacturing Base in Germany
Tsubakimoto Europe B.V. is strengthening its presence in the European market with the acquisition of Karl Jungbluth Kettenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, a renowned manufacturer of conveyor chains based in Germany.
For decades, Tsubaki has supplied industrial chains to Europe through exports from Japan. To meet the growing demand for shorter lead times, greater customization, and localized service, the company is establishing a dedicated manufacturing base in Germany--a key industrial hub. This expansion complements Tsubaki's existing facilities in Japan, the U.S., and China, reinforcing its global production capabilities.
The Bad Hersfeld facility will play a vital role in this strategy, providing tailored, high-quality conveyor chain solutions with improved responsiveness to customer needs. The integration of Karl Jungbluth strengthens Tsubaki's manufacturing footprint in Europe, supporting its long-term growth and innovation objectives.
"This acquisition marks a significant step in our strategy to expand localized production in Europe", said President Frank Rosmolen. "By enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, we can serve our customers more efficiently and continue delivering world-class solutions."
Tsubaki remains committed to driving industrial innovation and meeting the evolving demands of the global market.
