The year 2025 marks a very special milestone: 3defacto is celebrating its 25th anniversary. What began in 2000 as a small engineering office has, over the past two and a half decades, evolved into an internationally active specialist for special-purpose machinery, industrial plants, and innovative engineering solutions – powered by a strong team and a clear focus on forward-looking technologies made in Germany.
From start-up to global industrial partner
Over the last 25 years, 3defacto has continuously expanded its expertise. Today, the company operates in four strategic business units:
- Engineering Design Services (EDS)
- Industrial Plant Solutions (IPS)
- Pipe Processing Machines (PPM)
- Wheel Assembly Machines (WAM)
This structure enables tailor-made solutions for a wide range of industries – from automotive and chemical to the food sector. From the very beginning, one philosophy has been at the core: innovative technology, practical solutions, and collaborative partnerships with customers. These values continue to shape the company today.
A double celebration: anniversary and opening of the new site
The 25th anniversary was linked to a second major event: the opening of the new company site in the Niedersachsenpark in Rieste. Numerous guests from business, politics, partner companies, and, of course, the entire 3defacto team attended the celebration.
The new building, located on a spacious site, combines a modern production hall with contemporary office facilities. It provides ideal conditions for further growth, innovation, and future-oriented working environments. During the speeches, the achievements of the team were highlighted, as well as the importance of medium-sized engineering companies for the strength of the German economy.
Continuous growth and a strong spirit of innovation
Since its foundation, 3defacto has recorded steady growth – driven by strong technical expertise, long-term customer relationships, and the great commitment of its employees. Digital solutions, modern machine concepts, and well-thought-out plant engineering continue to shape the company’s development.
Another key focus is training and developing young talent. As a recognized training company, 3defacto invests in the next generation, helping to secure the future of mechanical and plant engineering in the region and beyond.
Looking ahead – locally rooted, globally connected
After 25 years, 3defacto proudly looks back at its achievements – while at the same time consistently looking forward. The company remains true to its vision: pushing technology further, realizing solutions, and exceeding expectations. With its new location, strong team, and clear strategic direction, 3defacto is excellently positioned for the years to come.
25 years of 3defacto – a milestone that stands for success, innovative strength, and true engineering excellence.
