About us

The history of Columbus McKinnon Hungary Kft. begins in 2003 with the foundation of Yale Industrial Products Kft. in the industrial park of the former bus manufacturer Ikarus in Vásárhelyi út 5 in Székesfehérvár. We start our adventure in Hungary with a 1,000 square metre hall and some offices !

In 2004 we start textile production for lashing straps and lifting straps and airbag safety devices for rescue services. Also our rope production with a hydraulic 400 t press starts.

In 2006 we produce our first round slings made of polyester.

With the takeover of Pfaff-silberblau Hebezeugfabrik GmbH in Germany, all subsidiaries also became part of the Yale Group. Pfaff-silberblau Hungária Kft., based in Vecsés, is integrated into the Székesfehérvár site in 2009.

The Yale Industrial Products Group has been part of the Columbus McKinnon Corporation since 1996. As part of the takeover of the Pfaff-silberblau hoist factory, the companies are renamed Columbus McKinnon Industrial Products GmbH (formerly Yale) and Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products GmbH (formerly Pfaff).

We have been trading as Columbus McKinnon Hungary Kft. since 2009.

In 2015 we are successfully audited by DQS and receive our ISO 9001:2008 certification. In 2021 we are already certified according to the current ISO 9001:2015.

We now work with almost 50 employees on more than 3,000 square metres of production and storage space. We supply all major lifting equipment dealers in South East Europe.
