Initially, staff comprised seven craftsmen and three apprentices. The company produced machinist vices, chimney cowls, fans and spiral stairs. In 1898, the company entered the machine building industry by producing cold circular metal sawing machines and saw blade skiving machines as well as thread cutting machines. On 5 January 1900, the original company was superseded by „Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik GmbH“ founded by the brothers Ernst (1866–1936) and Hermann Heller. In 1940, the company produced the first milling machines for the machining of crankshafts and HELLER has been offering solutions for the automotive industry in this segment ever since. In 1970, HELLER founded subsidiaries in the UK and Brazil. In 1980, HELLER opened production facilities in Chicago, IL in the United States. In the year 2000, the company was awarded certification to ISO 9001, QS 9000, TES and VDA 6.4 standards. In the same year, HELLER doubled the production capacity of the company’s production plant〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heller Has The Tools For Growing In Oakland County )〕 in the US and introduced a new internal milling machine for the machining of crankshafts. In 2007, HELLER introduced the ModuleLine manufacturing system and presented the H series of machining centres at EMO in Hanover. In 2009, the company launched the F series for simultaneous 5-axis machining and in 2010 presented bevel gear machining on 5-axis machining centres from the MCH-C and F series. Another innovation celebrated its premiere at EMO 2011, when HELLER presented the new C series of 5-axis machining centres for highly productive horizontal, vertical and tilted turning operations. In 2013, HELLER together with Daimler AG was awarded with the German Innovation Award for Climate and Environment (IKU) for their arc spraying technology for the coating of cylinder surfaces in automobile engines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IKU Short List 2013 )〕 The prestigious R&D 100 Award, also known as the ‘Oscars of Invention’ was another honor HELLER received 2014 for the development of all stages of the NANOSLIDE® process into a global application for mass production and industrialization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R&D 100 Winners )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gebr.
