## History

MENCK GmbH can trace its roots back to 1868 when it was established in Hamburg by Johannes Menck and Diedrich Hambrock. The company started out as a steam and diesel shovel builder, but after the Second World War it focused more on the production of diesel hammers. In 1966 Menck was bought by the US company Koehring, which went bankrupt in 1978. In 1992 MENCK GmbH was formed and acquired by Jay Ray McDermott the following year. The company moved its headquarters to Kaltenkirchen, Germany in 2002 and was acquired by the Acteon Group Ltd in 2003. MENCK GmbH was the first-ever winner of the Ben C.Gerwick Award in 2008.
