Founded in 1974 as a small locksmith shop, Benkler GmbH has grown into a specialist for industrial scales and steel construction. The family-run company employs about 30 people at its site in Stetten am kalten Markt. Around 70 percent of its industrial scales are custom-built, with capacities up to 12 tons and platform sizes up to 3 x 3 meters. The firm also offers CNC bending, laser cutting, sandblasting, welding, and painting services. Jörg Benkler has been managing director since 2002, alongside founder Winfried Benkler.
