Innovations for 60 years: stoba Präzisionstechnik – from Backnang to the world
It all started here in November 1961 with the founding of stoba Präzisionstechnik: In the Swabian town of Backnang, the first and oldest of all stoba locations.
For more than 60 years, high-precision, sophisticated components have been manufactured here in large series - always with the ambition to lead the way as a driver of technological progress and actively shape the future. True to the motto: From Backnang to the world!
However, the future in Backnang does not only refer to innovative technologies, but also to the people behind them. This is demonstrated, for example, by our training department: It has been an integral part of the company since 1986 and has since prepared more than 280 young people for the start of their careers - as mechatronics engineers, industrial clerks, plant operators, machining mechanics and more. Many of them still work at stoba today and bring the stoba motto "Committed to progress" to life every day at the Backnang site with a great deal of motivation and creativity in finding solutions.
The focus on developing our own specialists, coupled with plenty of room for our own ideas, a wide range of training opportunities and open, mutually supportive cooperation, is the basis for the innovative strength at the site. Anyone who works here senses the desire for new things and the will, determination and energy to take on future challenges. This is how stoba Backnang has grown from a small company in the precision engineering sector into a strong, internationally active group.
