Throwback 1988 – Founder Mr. Keller plans the future of his company
Let’s rewind to the year 1988! In this photo, you can find our founder and former CEO, Mr. Siegfried Keller, on the left. Standing beside him (the man with the striped tie) is Mr. Puschner, the former authorised officer of the company. And on the far right of the image, casually propping himself against the monitor, is Mr. Klaus, CEO of the former Klaus Datentechnik in Wuppertal (who sadly passed away a few years ago). Collectively, they were shaping the future of R. & S. KELLER GmbH (now CNC KELLER GmbH).
During this time, our product “GKE + CAM” also hit the market, capturing significant attention in the CNC world. Even the industry giant SIEMENS was impressed, marking the beginning of a significant partnership.

Throwback 1983 – CNC machines
Time travel to the year 1983! Our founder, Mr. Keller, was working as a vocational school teacher in metal technology at the “Gewerbliche Schule II der Stadt Wuppertal” (now “Berufskolleg Werther Brücke”) in 1983. It was there that the foundations for NC theory and NC practice were laid in the late 70s.
The very first CNC machine at the school was a DECKEL-FP-2-NC milling machine (Refer to the picture). However, back then, there was no money to purchase a lathe machine. But Mr. Keller wasn’t discouraged! He went above and beyond to raise the necessary funds and managed to gather an impressive sum of 140,000 DM (equivalent to 154,216 €, adjusted for inflation) through donations from entrepreneurs in Wuppertal. And thus, the CNC lathe machine, a GILDEMEISTER NEF 400 (The last picture), was acquired.
