FORKARDT INTERNATIONAL is one of the oldest and most experienced suppliers of workholding equipment in the world. Paul Forkardt started the Company in 1923 by founding FORKARDT GmbH in Duesseldorf, . Ever since, FORKARDT has been one of the industry's leading innovators. For example, FORKARDT pioneering ideas include the use of centrifugal force compensation and automatic chuck lubrication. FORKARDT also developed the first commercially acceptable design for indexing chucks, the first viable energy sources for high-performance power chucking systems and the first accurate and reliable force measurement systems.

Recently, FORKARDT has engineered innovations which include very high-precision chucks for the turning and grinding of camshafts and crankshafts, self-lubricating and fully sealed, longer lasting hard jaws, virtually maintenance-free chucks and innovative products for machining center applications.

From FORKARDT's roots in Duesseldorf, , a truly international, world-wide organisation has grown. FORKARDT now comprises wholly-owned subsidiaries in (two sites), the , , , and the . Naturally, DIN ISO 9000 certification is an important and integral part of the stringent quality assurance policies which are employed in our Operations.
