| Year | Milestone |
| 1839 | Louis Schuler (1814–1890) opens a metalworking shop in Göppingen with an apprentice in October. |
| 1852 | Schuler starts building machines for processing sheet metal, such as screw presses and circular shears. Aside from fruit mills and cider presses, Schuler also manufactures fire engines in the 1860s. |
| 1900 | At the World’s Fair in Paris, Schuler presents the world’s first mechanical multistation press with electrical direct drive. |
| 1924 | The first Schuler body panel press is delivered to Adam Opel AG. The mass production of body panel blanks in the automotive industry opens up new sales markets for Schuler in the 1920s. |
| 1980 ff. | Introduction of the first CAD system. Computers gradually replace the classic drawing board, which had previously been used to design the presses on paper. |
| 1983 | The first fully-automated transfer press for large parts, featuring a three-axis transfer and programmable logic controller (PLC), goes into operation. The system delivers a total nominal press force of 28 000 kilonewtons. |
| 2007 | With ServoDirect, Schuler advances forming technology by enabling component‑specific slide motion control. The 2012 TwinServo Technology extends this approach using two decentralized servo motors in the press bed. |
| 2013 | Schuler develops the Laser Blanking Line. Instead of cutting blanks with dies, the new system uses a laser beam to cut blanks right from the sheet metal coil. Schuler also becomes part of the Austrian ANDRITZ Group. |
| 2019 | Custom applications like digital twins support simulation and virtual commissioning to enhance operational efficiency, while cloud solutions enable scalable storage and analysis of machine and process data. |
| 2022 | With the acquisition of the Italian machine manufacturer ANDRITZ Sovema, ANDRITZ Schuler aims to become a system supplier in battery cell production for the automotive industry and other sectors. |
| 2025 | With their uniform appearance under the ANDRITZ brand, the two companies ANDRITZ & Schuler demonstrate that they are stronger together. |
