1945
At the end of the War a great effort is required to rebuild the Company.

1962
Continuing success - this time with the manufacture of components for lathes. Automatically controlled coordinate tables are developed and put on the market.

1968
A numerically controlled coordinate table arouses great interest at the machine-tool exhibition in Hannover. At that time in the Federal Republic of Germany there are only about 50 machine tools equipped with numerical control.

1970
The Company continues to make good progress thanks to the manufacture of coordinate tables.

1976
Hamül takes over the firm of Schirrmacher, an important supplier. This is the start of the Company's activity in Meeder near Coburg and, in the years to come, this location expands still further.

1978/89
In addition to jigs and fixtures, the range of products includes steel telescopic covers. The Company is now engaged in the development and series production of precision coordinate tables, long beds for CNC machining centers and components for moving column-type machines made by the firms of Chiron and Stama.

1982/83
For the firm of MBB in Augsburg the Company now develops and manufactures two high-speed milling machines for machining integral components made of aluminium for the aviation industry. The machines can progress parts up to 8 metres in length.

1985
Hamül is now working at the forefront of technology and, in cooperation with the Technical University in Darmstadt, the Company constructs the first high-speed machining center made of polymer concrete.

1987
The Company now becomes part of the SCHERBEL Group. The construction of a laser welding installation for welding car roofs means that the range of products can be extended.

1990
Hamül obtains the contract to overhaul and modernize all the portal milling machines at the DASA factory in Augsburg.

1997
At the Hannover Trade Fair Hamül presents SHAPE 2000, the newly developed, universal portal milling machine.

1998
Founding  of a 100% subsidiary called Hamül Maschinenbau Plauen GmbH & Co. KG, which is also integrated into the SCHERDEL Group. A modern production unit for welded steel structures with an individual weight of up to 20 tonnes is set up in Plauen. The premises have an area of 3800 square metres.

1999-2002
In cooperation with Alstom Power AG the Company develops the high-speed turning and milling machines HSTM-800 and HSTM-2000. Eleven of these machines are in use and they can carry out all the machining procedures for crankshafts and turbine blades in a single clamping process.

2004
Hamül founds a 100% subsidiary called Reichenbacher Hamuel GmbH. Here, Hamül continues the manufacture and development of the range of products hithertomade by Reichenbacher GmbH.
