Founded in 1985 as Arburg's very first foreign subsidiary, Arburg France laid the groundwork for what is now the company’s global presence. On 5 November 2025, the Arburg SAS team celebrated the 40th anniversary with around 100 participants in the presence of Managing Partner Juliane Hehl and Tobias Baur, Managing Director Sales and After Sales, as well as Steffen Eppler, Vice President Sales Europe, from Arburg’s German headquarter. Before the festive evening, customers were given an opportunity to learn about current topics and trends in injection moulding. This took the form of exhibits and specialist presentations at the Arburg Technology Centre (ATC) in Tremblay-en-France.
Forty years ago, Arburg successfully took an important first step towards its early international expansion. Consequently, Arburg France still has a very special status today. Arburg is now represented by its own organisations in 27 countries at 37 locations and, together with its trading partners, it has a worldwide sales and service network.

“Our aim of establishing a global presence with our own organisations was and still remains to provide our customers with first-class and comprehensive on-site support. We are deeply impressed by what our French team has achieved over the past four decades”, emphasised Juliane Hehl in her speech. “Even back then, it was very important to my father Eugen Hehl to convey the image of our company worldwide through uniform appearance of the Arburg buildings at home and abroad – and of course our technology and expertise”. The Managing Partner thanked the customers for their great trust in Arburg and the French Arburg team for their successful work.
In recognition of this commitment, she presented the anniversary sculpture and certificate together with Tobias Baur and Steffen Eppler to Pascal Laborde, Managing Director of Arburg SAS.
