Eickhorn-Solingen Limited History.

The Eickhorn name has been associated with the edged tools industry for over 140 years. Founded by the Eickhorn family in Solingen, Germany. The 1st company, Eickhorn GmbH to bear the name was established in 1864.

+ This company, and a subsequent Eickhorn company failed when owned and managed by members of the Eickhorn family.

+ The Liquidator, H Liesegang. Wuppertal sold the Eickhorn assets, trademarks, name, patents and intellectual property rights, stock and work in progress to the UK group, LBA Systems Limited.

+ Joerg Eickhorn and a company called Waffentechnik Borkott+Eickhorn with which he is associated, has no
connection whatsoever with Eickhorn-Solingen Limited.

+ LBA Systems Ltd, an established UK company is the 100% shareholder of Eickhorn-Solingen Limited, and as such is the exclusive owner of the original Eickhorn business, trademarks, designs and all intellectual property rights that were previously owned by the bankrupt company.

+ Eickhorn-Solingen Limited retained the existing engineers, workforce and staff, so ensuring the continuity of traditional crafts-manship skills associated with the Eickhorn and Solingen names.

+ Eickhorn-Solingen Limited has invested capital and expertise in state of the art CNC machinery and the complete modernisation of the company. Today Eickhorn-Solingen Limited is internationally recognised as being one of the foremost ‘state of the art’ design and production industrial units in the Ruhr valley. The previous bankruptcies considerably affected the good name of the company, however under the dynamic new management the company’s reputation has fully recovered.
