The first logo
1923

1960
Start of production of large-hole drill bits for the stone and quarrying industry. Initially only with carbide cutting edges, then pin drill bits.
The so-called “KARBO-HEDGEHOG” was born!
1960
This later resulted in the “KARBO high-speed drill bit”. Karbo drill bits still have this unique shape today. R. Karnebogen received numerous patents at home and abroad for this drill bit shape.
The drill bits are used for drilling blast holes in rock and today also for geothermal drilling.
Although well-known companies are copying this high-speed drill bit today, the Karbo quality has never been attained.
1972
Beginning of the production of stockers, corrugators and blasting irons for processing kerbs from granite blocks.
1980
Founding of today’s Karnebogen GmbH by Richard Karnebogen
daughter Petra Karnebogen-Fuchs and son-in-law Günter Fuchs.
1980
Through numerous tests, along with the constant expansion of the product range and close cooperation with customers, Karnebogen is now able to offer the optimal hammer drill and the right drill bit for every type of rock.
1999
With its own energy source from hydropower due to a large-scale restoration measure
1999, Karnebogen today is making a major contribution to environmental protection.
The electricity produced is used directly during working hours, on Sundays and public holidays the energy is fed directly into the domestic power grid and made available to the general public.
2001
Due to the steady growth and progressive modernisation, a new, large office wing had to be built.
2009
After previously working in the company, the brother and sister Melina and Mark Fuchs join the limited company as managing directors.
