The Grandfather Clocks Company – The Kieninger Clock Company   THE KIENINGER CLOCK COMPANY   In the year 2002 the Kieninger Clock Factory is celebrating its 90th anniversary. The Kieninger Clock Company was founded in 1912 in the Black Forest by Joseph Kieninger and therefore is the oldest existing manufacturer of mechanical clock movements for grandfather, wall and mantel clocks in the world.   Since 1917 the Kieninger Clock Company has been located in Aldingen, a charming village just between Black Forest and 'Schwäbische Alb'. Today, the Company occupies 45,000 square foot manufacturing facility, newly constructed in 1991 and employs about 100 dedicated and highly skilled workers and staff. In 1993, Kieninger became part of the Howard Miller Group (USA), the largest manufacturer of grandfather clocks in the world. From its very first beginning Kieninger Clock Company has stayed with its traditional concept: The manufacture of technically advanced, high quality mechanical movements and clocks.
