The subsidiary Brötje-Sümak-Automation built machine tools in the 1970s and was renamed Brötje-Automation GmbH in 1979. With the delivery of the first machines for the automated riveting of aircraft components, the company established itself in the aviation industry between 1980 and 2000 and expanded into the US, Europe and Asia. In 2003, the Claas Group acquired the company and Broetje-Automation GmbH expanded its product repertoire to include joining stations and final assembly lines in addition to riveting machines. In 2006, the subsidiary Broetje Automation-USA, Inc. was founded. In 2012, the company bought back the company shares from CLAAS KGaA mbH together with Deutsche Beteiligung AG. It also changed the existing spelling Brötje-Automation to Broetje-Automation for the international market. In 2015, the Jaderberg sites were merged into the new company headquarters in Rastede and the subsidiary BA Japan K.K. was founded. In 2016, the Chinese Shanghai Electric Group (SEC) took over the company.[1][2]
