Specific text to be added to replace existing copy:

TAKRAF Group (“TAKRAF”), is a global German industrial company[1]. Through its brands, TAKRAF and DELKOR, the Group provides equipment, systems and services to the mining and associated industries.

Foundation and History

While the official foundation date of TAKRAF Group is given as 1948, its origins stretch back to 1725 when the Lauchhammer works for fabricating construction equipment were established, in then Prussia, together with the first blast furnace for producing iron. "Tenova TAKRAF: Global legacy in mining and bulk handling systems". Business Chief. BMG. 2020-05-19. Retrieved 2022-02-23.

The 19th century saw, in 1809, the start of activities as a mechanical engineering company, as well as major milestones being contributed to Germany’s industrial history. These included, in 1874, the Lauchhammer works commencing high-rise - and iron bridge construction in Oberhammer, and the start of fabrication of overburden and lignite mining equipment."TAKRAF – A long and dependable history in industry". Yumpu. ATA Gears Ltd. 2015. Retrieved 2022-02-23.

The Lauchhammer works continued to contribute important firsts into the 20th century. The first overburden conveyor bridge was supplied in 1924, followed, two years later, in 1926, by fabrication of the first three bucket-wheel excavators."Mega structures. The world's largest excavator Bagger 293". Sudonull. Sudo Null Company. Retrieved 2022-02-23.

The years following the foundation of TAKRAF, then known as ABUS, in 1948, saw supply of the first 60 m moveable overburden conveyor bridge for the Welzon Sued lignite mine in 1973. This was followed by the construction of four other similar conveyor bridges prior to 1991, when the world’s largest bridge complex, the 60 m overburden conveyor bridge in the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine was commissioned."Tenova TAKRAF: Global legacy in mining and bulk handling systems". Business Chief. BMG. 2020-05-19. Retrieved 2022-02-23. The bridge (Visitor Mine “F 60 Lichterfeld”) is open for visitors at the Internationale Bauausstellung Fürst-Pückler-Land (International Mining Exhibition Fürst-Pückler-Land).

In 1990, the 500th bucket-wheel excavator was supplied.Noland, Randy (2009-07-01). "Bucket Wheel Excavators: 3D Machine Control on a Large Scale" (PDF). Machine Control Online.com. MachineControlOnline.com. Retrieved 2022-02-23. Large scale equipment developed for on-off heap leach technology for copper ore in 1994. In 1998, large, customized gearboxes for bucket-wheel drive gearboxes were developed while, in 2000, the longest conveyor for its time was supplied. In 2006, the first TAKRAF mobile conveyor bridges for stacking and reclaiming were developed and supplied."TAKRAF Surface Mining and Bulk Handling Equipment". Mining-technology.com. GlobalData. Retrieved 2021-07-06.

Renamed as TAKRAF GmbH in 2006, it was, 1 year later, acquired by the international Techint Group, operating within Tenova SpA under the brand name Tenova TAKRAF. "Techint acquires Takraf". bulk-online. Dr. Wöhlbier + Dröttboom GbR. 2007-08-09. Retrieved 2021-07-06.

Following a rebranding in 2020, simply calling itself TAKRAF Group, the entity is headquartered in Leipzig, Germany and has several representations worldwide.Owen, Will (2020-12-14). "TAKRAF revises its branding to present itself as a group". Dry Bulk. Palladian Publications. Retrieved 2022-02-23.

Hi Cheryl, I have declined this request. It is important that information on Wikipedia be cited inline (not just on the bottom), and to a reliable source (e.g. your second proposed reference is to an online forum). Additionally, sources should be independent of the subject, so references to a company's website are typically not suitable. For information on adding inline citations, I encourage you to check out: Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Inline_citations. I recommend using {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} (click on the links for more info) templates to make sure all of the important information is in the reference, such as author, publisher, title, access date, and the like. After the proposed changes have inline citations, please reopen the edit request; to do this, remove the "|D" from {{request edit}}. Best, Spencer^T•C 06:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

External link modified

I've fixed the broken former link to the company's main English-language page, which is now at their domain's root (takraf.com). I probably didn't need to mention ir here, but you always see "External links modified" notices from WP's bots—and if bots get to do it, why shouldn't we? Okay, it's been a slow day.– AndyFielding (talk) 09:39, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
