Rubner was founded in 1864 by Josef Rubner, as the first machine center in Markneukirchen, Germany. Parts for music instruments were manufactured from the beginning of the business. In 1928, the company was expanded by brothers Paul & Otto Rubner.

In 1990, Hans-Thomas Rubner took over the company in the 5th generation and built a new factory hall in the industrial estate in Markneukirchen. The company combines century old equipment with modern CNC machines, producing a unique quality in components. All machines receive hands-on quality control, and provide outstanding value to the worldwide marketplace.

New Principals include Jeffrey Meinel, Commercial Director and Rocco Meinel, Technical Director. The leadership team is dedicated to product quality and innovation.
