More than 130 years ago, Leifield's history began with the production of wooden barrels. Today, the company is at the forefront of the entire industry.

1891–1920
In 1891, Josef Leifeld established the "bttcherei lei feld"(lei feld Cooperation), which produced barrels, barrels, butter centrifuges and straw cutters. In 1920, Joseph Leifield II transformed Cooper's Factory into a metal processing workshop: "Joseph Leifield Sheet Metal Products Factory".

1921–1967
In 1930, Leifeld invented the world's first manual spinning lathe. In 1945, the world's first hydraulic spinning machine was introduced. Fifteen years later, the first hydraulic spinning machine with copy control and automatic program was launched. Finally, in 1967, Leifeld developed the world's first CNC spinning lathe.

1968–1999
The world's first CNC metal spinning machine was developed by Leifeld in 1971. In 1988, Leifeld developed the first machine to produce multi-component aluminum wheels, and a year later, he developed a new process to produce single-piece weight-optimized cast aluminum wheels with strength comparable to forged wheels. The first machine to produce clutch plate brackets was put into production in 1995.

2000–2010
Leifeld developed the first machine for the production of forged aluminum wheels optimized for single weight, and the first machine for the vertical production of aluminum and steel wheels, as well as cast and forged aluminum wheels. In 2007, the Georges Cuffler Group acquired Leifield Metal Spinning Co., Ltd. In 2010, Leifeld built the world's longest flow forming machine, with a length of more than 30 meters.

2011–2019
In 2011, Leyfield expanded to China and established Leyfield Machinery Trading Company in Shanghai. In 2013, a branch factory was established in Artern. In the same year, Leifeld developed the world's strongest flow forming machine, and a year later developed the world's largest horizontal CNC metal spinning machine. In 2015, Leifeld expanded to the United States and founded Leifeld USA corp. In 2016, its 125th anniversary, lei feld delivered its 6125th machine. In 2017, a new website was opened in Russia.
