Company history

A success story since its founding in 1978

Company history

2024

In 2023, our developers worked on a new design for our fully automatic machines. The placeALL®610XL became its successor, the placeALL®620XL. On the one hand, it differs in its appearance, but also in the arrangement of the vision and tool changer in the assembly room. The other models remain tried and tested in the usual design, just visually restyled.

2021

At the end of 2020, Fritsch GmbH will move into its new building in Amberg. The steady growth of the successful company made the much larger building inevitable. In 2021, the motivated employees will continue production in light-flooded rooms.

2020

With the new placeALL® models PA520 and PA620, Fritsch GmbH wants to astonish its visitors at SMT Nuremberg. But then the global pandemic thwarted the bill. Nevertheless, the new fully automatic machines can demonstrate their skills live via the Internet.

2015

35 years of innovation and quality made in Germany

"New developments and products show up to us positively in the future", says CEO Markus Fritsch confidently and thank you to all the customers, business partners and employees as the long-standing success of Fritsch GmbH is down to them.

Innovative technology combined with modern design:
The FRITSCH GmbH introduces at the tradeshow SMT 2013 in Nuremberg Germany the latest development - the placeALL®700!
