Throwback 1986 – R. & S. KELLER GmbH Foundation
Did you know that KELLER didn’t start out as a software company, but as a publishing house?
Under the publisher’s name “R. Keller”, Mrs. Keller first published educational booklets on the topics of CNC machine tools, geometric and technological as well as mathematical basics in 1982. Our SYMplus™ workbooks are still a reminder of this time.
The success of the products finally led to the founding of R. & S. KELLER GmbH by Mr. and Mrs. Keller in 1986. This photo shows the festivities to celebrate the founding of the company.

Throwback 2016 – User Meeting
#ThrowbackThursday to a special milestone at KELLER.Software! Seven years ago, in 2016, our first “KELLER User Meeting” took place.
These meetings were about more than just dry business discussions; they were primarily about direct exchange with our valued customers, that means with you! Together, we discussed challenges, desired features and progress.

Throwback 2006 – ZF Friedrichshafen apprentices present SYMplus™ at the METAV
A look back into the year 2006: At the METAV trade fair in Düsseldorf, trainees from ZF Friedrichshafen AG were able to demonstrate their skills at the KELLER booth.
Using the graphical editor of our CNC software SYMplus™, they showed the audience how easy it is to develop a milled workpiece from contour to production. To finish things off, they then milled live on a Haas machine.
Almost 20 years later, SYMplus™ continues to delight with its effortless and time-saving user-friendliness!
