Deutsche Maschinen India Pvt Ltd (DMI), a One Hundred Herkules Group, Germany owned company was incorporated in May,2007 for providing technical support to more than 200 machines supplied in last fifty years or so in India and its neighbouring countries in South Asia.

The Herkules Group consists of several manufacturing companies in U.S.A, Germany, in Siegen and Leipzig as well as China.Seven years ago the worldwide known Waldrich Siegen Company as main competitor was incorporated into the Group as independent individual second brand.

Herkules, a leading name in the world in the field of Roll Shop machineries and equipments for Steel, Aluminium & Paper Industries was founded in Siegen, Germany in 1911 by Dipl. Ing.  Franz Thoma, grandfather of Mr.Christoph Thoma, Chairman & CEO of Herkules Group, present today to grace the occasion of inauguration of DMI Factory.

Waldrich Siegen, the leading supplier for equipment for Power and Diesel Engine industries is still the main competitor for Maschinenfabrik Herkules in the steel industry.

DMI with its Engineers & technicians trained at Herkules and her other Group Companies in Germany provides technical services to all customers in India and neighbouring countries for installation and maintenance services during and after warranties.With DMI services readily originating from Kolkata for most sophisticated CNC equipments manufactured by  Maschinenfabrik Herkules and its daughter companies and payable in Indian Rupees instead of foreign currencies, all Indian customers are more than satisfied.Keeping in view of the customer’s requirement Mr. Thoma decided to start DMI Factory at Kolkata to further strengthen Herkules’ services by way of revamping of old Herkules, Waldrich and other equipments and Herkules Group in last five decades in India have become old but still providing satisfactory services to the respective owners like old War Horses in a real Herculean way. Though the robust old machines here are still in operation but a thorough overhauling followed by change in electrical with CNC retrofittings will give them a new lease of life with restoration of original accuracies.Further introduction of Measuring Units, Eddy Current and Ultrasonic Crack Detection Systems, Automatic Roll Surface Inspection Systems and Ultrasonic wheel tester etc.will make it almost at par with new machines with warranty from DMI backed by the Herkules Group upto 12 months from the date of recommissioning.
