Our history

Since 1870, FRICKE has been synonymous with precision dosing and filling systems. As a family-run mechanical engineering company based in Minden, Germany, we combine traditional values with modern automation and intelligent process control.

1870

Foundation

In Rehme, metalworker Fritz Fricke, great-grandfather of the current owner Bernd Fricke, began manufacturing decimal scales. His precise scales created fair trading conditions for producers and buyers of agricultural products. 

1960

Getting started with bulk handling technology

With the arrival of Werner Fricke, the product portfolio was expanded to include bagging scales for coal and briquettes. FRICKE developed from a scale manufacturer into a provider of industrial solutions for weighing, dosing, and filling bulk materials.

1967

First filling station

From 1967 onwards, paint and varnish manufacturers placed their trust in FRICKE's first industrial filling systems – a decisive step towards modern, reproducible filling technology.

1980

Getting started with dosing technology

FRICKE was involved in the development and construction of a dosing system that set new standards in the perfume and flavor industry thanks to its accuracy, versatility, and technology.

1987

Own dosing software 

FRICKE became a technological pioneer with the development of its own dosing software. To this day, the software forms the basis for automated, reproducible, and reliable dosing solutions.

1995

Moving to Minden, Meißen 

New production and administration building and relocation to the current location in the Meißen industrial park in Minden – a clear commitment to growth, modernization, and long-term location development.  

2000 - 2015

Site expansions  

The owners, Brunhild and Werner Fricke, together with two of their sons, look back on various expansions at the site in front of the administration building in Minden: additional storage and production areas, offices, and a modern vertical warehouse.

2021

FRICKE-Multiplex 

With FRICKE Multiplex, an intelligent manufacturing system with networked dosing and filling systems, FRICKE combines established values with modern automation – a clear commitment to the future of the family business.

2022

FRICKE Management Board 

Bernd Fricke (CEO) leads the family-owned company as Managing Partner in the fifth generation. Together with Mario Markmann (CTO), Technical Director, and Lars George (CFO), Commercial Director, he forms the FRICKE management team (from left to right).

2025

155 years of FRICKE – 30 years in Minden, Meißen
