Engel Austria GmbH (stylized as ENGEL AUSTRIA) is an Austrian manufacturer of injection moulding machines and associated automation systems headquartered in Schwertberg, Upper Austria. Engel employs approximately 7,000 people worldwide. The machines produced in its Austrian plants are almost exclusively for export; the export rate was approximately 95 percent in the 2025/26 fiscal year. Engel offers injection moulding machines as well as integrated and automated production cells for processing thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. Since its founding in 1945, Engel Austria has remained entirely family-owned. The company was founded in 1945 by Ludwig Engel, a Danube Swabian, as a locksmith shop in Schwertberg. From 1948, it began manufacturing punching machines for processing leather and other materials. In 1951, the company built its first injection moulding machine featuring a hand-lever clamping unit and water-hydraulic drive injection. Following the founder's death, his daughter Irene and her husband Georg Schwarz took over management, continuing the company's international expansion. By 1970, the number of foreign representations had increased to forty locations.
